My AppMenu panel plugin (global applications menu) on XFCE4 desktop has an excessive amount of left padding, and the menus are cut off: Screenshot of an XFCE4 panel with the whisker application menu on the far left, and the AppMenu plugin (global applications menu) immediately adjacent. There is excessive left padding in the AppMenu, several hundred pixels, and only the first 2.5 letters in the application name ( I'm running XFCE4 in Termux-X11 on Android. Based on [this reddit thread](https://old.reddit.com/r/xfce/comments/1hicks8/global_app_menu_issue/) , this bug affects some desktop XFCE4 installations too. Here the version numbers on my sustem:
xfce4-appmenu-plugin 24.05 aarch64
xfce4-panel 4.20.3 aarch64
**Question:** Is there a patch or workaround I can apply to fix the AppMenu plugin?
