Since the last upgrade the panel is not drawn correctly. The top few
pixels are not drawn, when I activate a button and remove the mouse again
the top pixels are drawn, when I change the desktop they are gone again.

I hope this screenshot illustrates what I am trying to describe:
http://a10i.net/tmp/xfce4-panel.png

This shows a panel that sits at the top of my screen. I've moved my mouse
over the geany icon (the golden teapot-like thing) first, thus redrawing
those pixels and then on the mousepad icon (little writing pad).

I've tried changing the panel size, but that does not affect this
behaviour.

Hmh, I never experienced something like that. Can you tell us what GTK+
theme you use, and try changing it?

Sorry for the late answer.

I've tried changing the theme, that does not fix it. I also experimented
an afternoon long with removing selected config files, emptying and
refilling the menu etc. Unfortunately I was not able to isolate a clean,
minimal, and reproducible test case. I guess my xfce setting are simply
too numerous and also migrated over a lot of versions which probably
doesn't make them cleaner.

I was hoping someone else was experiencing similar problems and could add
additional insights. But since this seems to be an isolated problem I
guess the bug can be closed and I'll hope for the next version.

Kind regards,
Meike

Does this mean starting from a fresh config you don't have the problem?

Well, I can understand it's still annoying :)

Yes. A new panel looks okay. When I use my old, one pixels are missing. I
tried removing and replacing the icons one by one, but somehow got lost in
the configs since there seems to be a mixture of old and new format files
there. (I had my layout converted when you switched the format and
re-added the few icons that didn't make the conversion. I guess that led
to a kind of unhealthy mixture of current and converted legacy configs.)

It's like that nick in the door frame from moving in. It's quite annoying
but over time you learn to ignore it ;)

So now you managed to have a working config, which fits your needs,
without the bug?

No, I still have the bug. As said I wasn't able to properly dissect the
configs so I just stuck with my old setup.
