Bug Description
In xfce4-panel sometimes the tasklist aka "Window Buttons" isn't updated correctly, causing some windows to be missing from it and also visual "gaps".
The XFCE bugreport is https:/
This bug was fixed a month ago with this merge request: https:/
4.14.3 from Ubuntu 20.04 is definitely affected, but as XFCE only merged the patch a month ago newer xfce4-panel versions from newer Ubuntu releases are probably affected as well. I didn't test those though.
To post a comment you must log in.
This is a patch that's equivalent to the solution XFCE merged (only this comments the code in question out instead of deleting it).
As far as I can tell it fixes the bug, but I'm not 100% sure as the bug only happened every few days or so on my system. I'm currently testing this patch on my system and will write another comment here in case the bug happens again with the patched panel (-plugin).
