GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 738467
Some icons are enormously large
Last modified: 2018-05-22 12:12:38 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #738436 +++ Created an attachment (id=288374) screenshot Summary describes the problem completely. I attach the screenshot of geary mail client but it is not the only application where the problem appears. For example it appears in the app chooser dialog in the nautilus and even in the gnome-system-monitor (in the process list).
Created attachment 288395 [details] [review] Ensure icons are at the right size GTK+ will no longer force-scale icons that are not available in the right size, unless it is told to do so.
*** Bug 737718 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Thanks Matthias for the fix, I have read about the GTK changes causing this, but still did not have the time to investigate/ask around how to fix it. Checked the code, so if I see it in another app, will propose patches. This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
I think https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737720 is related but might be a bug in gnome-tweak-tool.
Created attachment 313929 [details] screenshot of gnome-system-monitor 3.18.0.1 Looks like this regressed, because this is what I see on 3.18.0.1.
don't comment on bugs without reopening them. if you want a response, that is...
Strange, I have 3.18.0.1, have installed xchat-gnome, but the xchat-gnome icon is of standard size, just like all the others. The difference between the screenshot and my setup is the language, but that should not influence icon sizes, as far as I know.
I cannot reproduce with jhbuild-built gnome-system-monitor 3.18.0.1 either. I see the bug with gnome-system-monitor 3.18.0.1-1~wily1 from the GNOME 3 Staging PPA for Ubuntu 15.10. One difference that I notice between my build and the Ubuntu package is that Ubuntu's g-s-m is built with --enable-wnck. I'll try to figure out how to tell jhbuild to provide that flag and see if it makes a difference.
If I build gnome-system-monitor with --enable-wnck, I can reproduce the large xchat icon with git master. NB: I don't know if this could possibly matter, but for full disclosure I feel I should mention that I have a ~/.local/share/applications/xchat-gnome.desktop, that differs from the system one in the Exec line only (I launch an ssh process to establish a tunnel to my ZNC before starting the GUI): --- /usr/share/applications/xchat-gnome.desktop 2014-11-18 11:47:16.000000000 +0200 +++ /home/mg/.local/share/applications/xchat-gnome.desktop 2012-09-26 09:24:44.503283290 +0300 @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ GenericName=IRC Chat X-GNOME-FullName=XChat-GNOME IRC Chat Comment=Chat with people using IRC -Exec=xchat-gnome +Exec=sh -c 'irc-tunnel & xchat-gnome' Icon=xchat-gnome Terminal=false StartupNotify=true
Thanks for the investigation, it makes sense, and --enable-wnck alone could be enough to cause this, as we have a WNCK application icon lookup too, and I'm not running with wnck enabled. Will try this and see if I can come up with something.
I have this problem too. Screenshot: http://imgur.com/a/t4cIq Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon. Gnome System Monitor 3.18.2-1ubuntu1
