Bug Description

I think this only affects those new buttons which are wider than standard width to cover the full width of the dialog box.
When I have two such wide buttons, the inner edges of both are cut off (as can be seen in the screenshot attached).

Thanks for the report. I am pretty sure this has to do with the theme being based on Ubuntu 14.04 thus gtk 3.10. Ubuntu 14.10 is 3.12 so they changed some widget types and stuff around. I am going to do my best to do a full re-write of gtk3 for 15.04. I wish it was simple, Its not really hard but its time consuming it takes hours because I have to make a working theme and recolor all the images and copy the color code manually to over 70 different folders then test it all. however I have some Ideas of how to make it more efficient this time So I hope I can pull it off fast clean and stable. (I am aiming for some time early next year, I need to wait until the new gtk is finalized for 15.04) Sadly Aiming for 14.10 does not make sense since it is already out but I am going to try to jump on top of releases long time before they are out to ensure support.

I need to write a script to make it easier (Have tried in the past but what needs to be done is very complex and sometimes human driven eg picking correct colors for images) right now everything is done by hand, hand crafted if you will. But it's kind of cool I can keep on top of 300 files I have to edit by hand haha.

Will be working on this soon thank you for the motivation.

I fully understand you.
I wish they found a way of making all those upgrades compatible with earlier versions. It might be much more difficult than upgrading individual themes but it will be done once and that's it!
For instance, gtk-3.12 libs, etc. should have been able to adapt gtk-3.10 type buttons to the new design, etc.
But I still prefer "Ambiance Colors" 3.10 to official Ambiance 3.12 because it's more buggy, so to speak, e.g. lack of same dark toolbar bgcolor in Synaptic and GTK2 apps, let alone offering choice to users who might not like their orange color combination ;-)
