I made a clean install of LXDE on Ubuntu 24.04 on my VPS, and the panel (taskbar) appears cut off. Furthermore, each time more things are displayed in the panel, the panel gets longer and longer, and finally it sticks out.

This problem did not occur on Ubuntu 22.04.

The installation had been done just in the following steps.

$ sudo apt -y update
$ sudo apt -y upgrade
$ sudo apt install -y lxde-core xrdp

Version information:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Release:        24.04
Codename:       noble

$ lxpanel --version
lxpanel 0.10.1

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

Exact same issue here after upgrading from 23.10 to 24.04. It seems to be caused by the Desktop Pager applet.

If you open the Panel Preferences and remove Desktop Pager from the Panel Applets tab, the bar looks normal again. You can do that by right-clicking on the taskbar → Panel Preferences → select the Panel Applets tab → select Desktop Pager → click Remove.

Panel Preferences with the Panel Applets tab selected

Found that cause at: https://sourceforge.net/p/lxde/bugs/968/

https://github.com/lxde/lxpanel/issues/76 Looks like it got fixed. Ubuntu repositories should be updated with newly built packages.
