Panel menu icons are briefly way too big (when opened the first time)

[nebrisi]

On every fresh boot, the first time when you click the drop down menu for SOUND/WIRELESS/SHUT-DOWN, the sound icon jumps out very big in size...BUT ONLY THE FIRST TIME WHEN YOU RESTART the machine!!

When opening the aggregate menu for the first time the speaker icon shows bigger than expected, then shortly shrinks to normal size. Unconfirmed wether it affects other icons.

[Derek Willian Stavis (derekstavis)]

I have recorded a video to show the problem.

More than 3 years later and this bug is still not fixed...
It happens on 3.26 beta 2.

This really makes us want to fix it *eyeroll*

> It happens on 3.26 beta 2.

This is all that was needed, really.

Does this still happen on a Wayland? An updated recording of the bug would also be helpful as the one in comment 2 is gone.

screencast does not capture this bug and I have no camera available to record a video.

Thanks. Can you also provide a screenshot? I wonder if this is related to the giant icon rendering bug 1718238.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

... or if the problem is brief then photo/video.

[nebrisi (ichbinich2)]

Here is a gif of the problem. I should add that I'm using virtualbox if this is anyhow connected.

So this giant icon only happens for the first time you click on the tray drop-down menu.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Here's a zoomed in screenshot of the issue from your video. It shows all the icons are briefly too big.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

I'm seeing this now myself. Maybe because I recently added a user picture to my account?

Bug persists in Gnome 3.28.2, Wayland session, Arch Linux.
It's more noticeable when shell becomes slower after some hours using my laptop.
I recorded a screencast.

This bug persists on Arch Linux running Gnome 3.32.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

The bug also persists in Gnome 3.34 (release) and 3.35 (master branch).

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

I think this should be fixed in Gnome Shell 3.35 as the offending icons are no longer used.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Bug fixed by the new menu design in 3.35/3.36.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Maybe not. Today I did see the bug, or something like it, occur in Gnome Shell 3.35.

I can't confirm.
Still happening on Arch Linux after upgrade to Gnome 3.36.
It's less noticeable at least.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Yes, the bug is still there :(

[Strangiato Xanadu (strangiato)]

This bug is fixed on my Arch Linux since Gnome Shell 3.38.1.
