(Solved) Panel hiding bottom of applications

[michel]

Hello,

I am back to Mepis after many years and I am in the process of setting things up.

I have placed my panel at the bottom of the screen and it is setup to be always on (I don't like the appearing and dissapearing thing)

When my applications are maximised, the bottom is hidden by the panel and important informations and buttons are inacssesible.

Is there a way to make the applications snap to the top of the panel when maximised?

Thanks,

Michel

You can never go back, buddy--this is MX Linux! If you right-click the panel > Panel > Panel Preferences, is the box checked for "Don't reserve space on borders?" If yes, uncheck it.

Hi,
Not sure if my problem is same as this thread mine is:
Some windows are 'too big' for the screen. Today's example is the "Could not download all repository indexes' window within Synaptic package manager. When displayed this window is taller than the screen allows and resizing is not permitted - this is a little odd as the window incorporates a very large text box which is 90% empty.
May be related to the previous entries here - I have the panel at the top. The solution above (space reservation was unchecked)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Peter
