Giant gaping hole in title bar - Fedora 33

[chromakey-io]

This is a bug in Orchis and a downstream Mac app based on orchis, but it's not nearly so prominent and obvious there.

I believe there is a spacer there in the title bar (I'm reproducing the bug in the tweaks app itself). Orchis produces an infinite set of tiny boxes (hopefully there's a limit on recursion cause that'll slow down gnome a bit I imagine).

With your bug it's a very large distorted transparent hole.

I have a few other non-debian based distros that are rolling release with the same gnome older or newer versions, so I'd be happy to check this isn't fedora specific but i doubt strongly that's the case.

This could come down to a bug in the new Gnome version, and i'm sure we can work together to sort it out quickly.

A note on testing: don't use Ubuntu to test. It basically isn't linux. It's an abomination that is incredible popular due to marketing in the bay area. From a long time unix guy, it is GARBAGE.

Use literally any non-debian distro to test. Chances are if it works on fedora, or manjaro, or clear linux ... or what-ever is your pleasure. When you go back and find bugs with debian and ubuntu, FILE BUGS WITH THEM. If it works on every distro but theirs, (which is ALWAYS the case) it's a debian or ubuntu "volunteer" bug. Don't fix it, "have their 'volunteers'" do it.

BTW. I'm using an un-patched upstream Gnome stack. If your stuff somehow works in ubuntu, that's technically a bug!!!!!

If you want to SUPPORT linux through your business go through the list of contributors. Redhat and intel have contributed nearly 99.999% of the code for 20 years straight. Canonical is currently at -5% (yes negative, they'be repeatedly submitted untested code upstream that has caused major issues. For example in OpenSSH/SSL they deleted the code that randomized the keys ... because it was throwing a compiler warning). Debian has contributed somewhere around 1%-5% (i'm not checking :)

Intel has a user distro now too, so if you "hate" redhat because it's "corporate", now you have an even more corporate option.

GOOD work does not get done for free at this level (unix/linux/etc). Debian is a novel idea and massive commercial success, but it is a technical failure in every way shape and for. ie; snap, is about as secure as your eigth grade gym lock... and doesn't take anyone smarter to "hack" it. It's just a marketing ploy, and an evil one at that. I can go through a list of their revolutionary products, none of them exist today. Upstart is my favourite ... a joint debian and ubuntu venture I believe. It was within months replaced by systemd for their next release cycle, a project financed by the big linux players .... and a product that CHANGED the world. Have you ever used AWS lambda, and any number of other container products .... that's systemd.

Sorry it's late .... and you know by now I loathe debian and ubuntu with a fiery passion... sorry for going on like this.

MAIN POINT: Don't test with anything based on debiain, it is NOT linux ... and i can explain in a more sane/calm/less angry passion; in a technical scientific way if you're interested in why i say "it's not linux".

/end linux rant (and a little bit of testing advice)

Thanks for the hard work, I haven't fully checked out the interface due to the bug ... but it looks like you guys are really onto something ... :+1

can you submit a screenshot of the issue?

Here's one from the orchis based theme, oddly enough displaying the behabior more common to your framework (a simple transparency).

I'm trying to get an example with your theme directly, and will post when i do .... but for some reason the bug is hiding right now (maybe it's sentient? ... though more likely i was using the other theme more frequently). I swear at times though it would show up before i closed tweaks. I just did a fresh install tho ... and it seems less easily reproduced for whate-ever reason (haven't installed all the mesa or VAAPI drivers for intel, nor amdgpu yet ... that would be a BIG clue).

Figured I'd attach screen shots of your theme with the issue, but i've realized this is specifically an orchis bug. Once it's presented itself and failed in orchis, it spreads to all other themes ... Adwaita included.

So no more orchis for me, even though i really liked their nautilus layout.

Figured I'd attach screenshots of your theme spazzing out too, just so you know i wasn't pulling your leg or wasting your time.

To reproduce the bug pick one of the latest orchis themes or sub-themes... I'm using that mac one and i pulled and built it on github but i doubt that's required. Just grab the prebuilt binary off gnome-look, ... set it to orhis for a few mintues once it fails .... so do your themes :/

I had made the assumption that this was a widespread issue ... in reality it was just orchis making it appear that way to me.

here's it effecting your theme (lol the white theme isn't a great demonstration with a white background, but i assure the issue is there too :):

I'm curious about this. But since it isn't caused by my theme, I'll close the issue. Can you post a link to the orchis-based mac theme?
