[Bug 367994] Re: Increasing maximum panel size does not cause panel to resize

[Alan Jenkins]

I think you're missing the point.  If you increase the maximum panel
size, _and the panel had previously been constrained from growing_, it
should then be free to grow, up to the new maximum.  I'm not seeing it
do that.

...hmm, well, it is doing that _now_...

Right, I thought it was working properly for a moment, but I wonder if
it's just being masked by something else.

Have a look at this screenshot.  I've moved the minimum and maximum
sliders to their extremes, so the panel has complete freedom to choose
it's size.

It's decided that it's preferred size is about 3/4 of the screen width.
There isn't a taskbar on it, so that can't be responsible.  I thought
the panel was pretty figure-hugging; I've not seen it grow just to
provide empty space before.  I'm not objecting if that's what it's
supposed to do, but if so I'm puzzled that I didn't notice it earlier.
