LXDE panel not rendering nicely when on left or right

[Lars Noodén]

When the LXDE panel is set to display on either the left or the right, it looks quite strange. See attache image. When set to display on either the top or the bottom of the screen things are fine. The left or right should look just as nice as the top or bottom.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect <bug #>

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
