Yaru: Huge padding between menu action in top bar

[keshavbhatt]

On Ubuntu 19.10 there are huge paddings between menu actions which making the menu with 3 actions cover a lot of space in screen. I don't know why these random padding are added at first place. this is either coming from gnome shell theme or from gtk theme which is set to yaru.

Uhm, I'm pretty sure this doesn't happen on a fresh installation but can't check until tonight.
@clobrano can you confirm this?

[clobrano]

I can't reproduce this on "normal" apps like Nautilus

@clobrano this thing is coming from gnome shell, with yaru theme on ubuntu 19.10 with no external extension enabled. i will check with other apps tonight and update.

It seems not reproducible with gnome-session, so it might be indeed something we do in Yaru or in ubuntu session

Sorry, it does not happen immediately, but I reproduced it on gnome-session as well, so I think it doesn't depend on Yaru. It sounds weird, but It seems to happen if utube is opened after another application or when a second application is opened after utube, e.g.

1. open utube soon after system boot up: no problem
2. open firefox/nautilus/whatever, then go back to utube: problem reproduced

I suggest to ask first to the developer whether they can understand what's happening.

i think the height of that widget is somehow somewhere is being set to fixed. In qt we do widget->adjustSize() to update widget height to minimum required.

It is reproducible with gnome software too, very strange

[clobrano]

Ok, reproduced it also on Fedora, this is very likely a gnome-shell thing. Thanks for discovering it :wink:

Gnome-software opened as first application

Gnome-software after Nautilus has been opened as well
