Bug Description

See Screenshots, when you make the terminal smaller than the bybou panel, it will simply fail to show anything. Previously it would push the items that didn't fit outside the screen and show what it could.

RIght, so this is a problem with tmux and the fact that it only has 1 line.

Basically, I've tried to solve this in the default configuration by enabling a minimal number of status items. Yours is heavily customized to enable lots of status. To do that, you need to increase your window size (F11 fullscreen?) or decrease your font size (ctrl -).

I'll confirm this for now, but unfortunately tmux doesn't gracefully handle more information in your status bar than can be displayed :-(

I've turned some off again, esp. since logo, release and time enabled themselves in some recent update without me wanting them in there. I also usually use yakuake with plenty of space so just noticed this by chance when I had to open byobu in konsole.
