(synapse:6983): Gtk-WARNING **: Allocating size to SynapseGuiSchemaContainer 0x18cadd0 without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height(). How does the code know the size to allocate?

Please see attached screenshot for explanation

I get the same. I have tried on various desktops with and without compton

[David Gonzalez Gamboa (magnus512)]

The same here, I'm using Fedora 25.

This also causes the launcher to not display the thumbnails properly, as well as making the launcher be placed in the wrong position.

Same issue here, on Gnome 3.

A have fixed this issue and others that feel relevant to me. The downside is that it is all in a single patch file and it not tested outside my environment. Here is the gist:

Thanks for the patch, but could you run the "git diff" again to separate out the important parts? "git diff [list of relevant files]" might get a lot of it.

I'm not familiar with the code, but from looking at the patch then I can see how it might work and I'll give it a go.

Just one thought: the changes to src/ui/widgets.vala seem to just be masking the issue, not fixing anything. Yes, you're calling "get_preferred_*", but you're not doing anything with it!

[Israel (isrrios)]

The get_preferred_* part was just to get rid of warnings with gtk 3.20.

Patch fixing this issue and other reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/synapse-project/+bug/1570442.

Seems to work for me. It's now in my custom build of Synapse for openSUSE on the OBS.

Thanks!
