As for "rectangles" - it is not a bug but a side effect of image chosen for background - default one isn't well designed for a vertical panel, and since it's tiled, it got a bit odd look, and you can solve that by configuring another background.
As for alignments - that is definitely wrong, alignment should be consistent for all items, thank you very much for the report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1558802 Title: Panel has broken look when set to the side To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/1558802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
