Okay so I’ve done some testing, and unfortunately I’m none the wiser. The issue happens as described, but if I “reset” the panel by deleting the config as per above, then the problem goes away and doesn’t come back. I’m not sure what causes the issue in the first place.
Although ThinLinc seems to provoke this issue:
- a quick search online seems to indicate that others are having the same issue without ThinLinc
- we are not seeing this issue with ThinLinc on other distributions using XFCE
Therefore, I have to conclude that this is a bug in Linux Mint XFCE, rather than an issue with ThinLinc. So there’s not much we can do about this unfortunately, however if we do find out anything more I will update this thread with info.
