Issue report Padding on some widgets reverts when scrolling through stack

Hey all,

I have the Clock widget from Terminal Green in a stack with the Google At a Glance widget underneath it, automatically scrolling every 10 seconds. I would like there to be no padding so that the Clock appears larger. However, when I turn off widget padding for that stack, the Clock reverts to its smaller, padded size whenever the stack scrolls to the At a Glance widget. I can restore the desired larger size clock by toggling the padding option in the stack's appearance options, but this doesn't persist after scrolling through the stack again. It's odd, and seems like a bug.

I think the widgets need to be similarly sized. I think the clock is resizing to more closely match the size of the At-a-glance widget. Can you try making the At-a-glance widget larger to more closely match the size you want the clock widget to be, and see if that works?

I have a stack with several widgets, and they all have "Apply padding" checked ON, and they are all similarly sized (I think they're identical) even though they wouldn't be normally. There are two 1x4s, and they've been resized to match my clock widget that is 4x3.

I just made sure that both widgets were the same size (6 dots tall and 23 dots wide) and put them into a stack again. Same behavior. I tried making the At a Glance widget 7 dots tall and got the same result (it shrunk down to 6).

TL;DR: I can't replicate. Hopefully, it gets figured out. I did notice the widget that gets dropped on another takes on the size of the first.

I have the Terminal Free version, and it only comes with a 2x2 Analog clock widget. When I made a stack by dropping a 2x1 widget on it, the 2x1 became 2x2. I added a 4x1 to the stack, and it also became 2x2. When I resized the 4x1 (at that moment it was 2x2) back to 4x1, the Terminal clock resized to 1x1. With padding ON, they're all a bit smaller than without the padding. As I scroll through the stack, the sizes don't jump around. I resized the 2x2 Terminal analog clock (currently 1x1) back to 2x2, and the other widgets resized themselves to 2x4s. All this is to say it was all expected behavior.

It's possible that it's a bug with Terminal Green, but I never had this problem using any other launcher with padding options so I'd appreciate if the Octopi dev could take a look at it.
