Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

I have a Panel at the bottom of the screen that spans the whole width of that screen. It is also set to a somewhat small height, 25 pixels. At the very right corner I have it display the Digital Clock applet, which also shows the date with day of the week.
When I enable Nvidia Twinview to use a Dual Head Desktop, and then log into my KDE Desktop with Twinview enabled, the Digital Clock is not displayed correctly. It tries to fit into all of its text into a too small area of the Panel.

I've encountered this bug in the past, but I've never bothered to report it. And I found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/224445

I forgot to mention that I extend my Desktop to the right, thats probably important too because just leaving a little gap between the panel and the right side of the main screen makes the problem go away.

I've 'fixed' this now by just disabling showing the date. I previously mentioned that leaving a gap between the right side of the monitor and the toolbar works as a workaround too. But it really does not, I was wrong about that.

Hi Andreas!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
