Gnome-classic: Need Disappearing System Tray
by LQParsons from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51DXH)
Hi:
CentOS 7 (latest updates)
GNOME (gnome-classic) version 3.82.2
Occasionally I get a program with a screen that extends into (shall I say "under") my system tray. It doesn't know it's there so there is no scroll bar. Most recently, in LibreOffice I was adding a "footer" to a document, and inserting a field into it, and the final thing I had to click was inaccessible.
When Windows has this problem, I can change the System Tray to 'disappear' (a feature I normally find annoying), what I need is exposed, I do what I must, change the System Tray back to stop disappearing, and life goes on.
There seems to NOT be this option for my gnome desktop.
My research has revealed nothing for me.
This problem comes up occasionally with other programs over the years, I just finally decided to reach out to y'all.
Is there a work-around (if not a solution)?
Thanks.
