When hiding the clock indicator, a gap appears

[Michael Terry]

Binary package hint: unity

I recently fleshed out support for the datetime indicator preference to hide the clock, if the user chose. When doing so, an unclickable gap appears in the panel.

The indicator-datetime branch with support for this is here: https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/indicator-datetime/fix-show-clock/+merge/52890

I'm currently just hiding the label, but I also tried actually emitting ENTRY_REMOVED signal and the same result occurred. So I think it's a unity issue.

The same happens on desktop pc's as well due to indicator-power not being visible there.

fixed in unity-4.14.2 I believe Marco's indicators enhancement branch fixed it so assigned him :)

Yes, unity (and unity-2d) now should support removal of indicators as well. ;)
