v58 window titles still missing after uninstalling the extension #270

Closed tomaszwaraksa closed 2 years ago

tomaszwaraksa commented 2 years ago

After brief experimenting with the extension I have uninstalled it. Didn't work well enough for me. Unfortunately, window titles are now gone on many application windows, rendering them unusable. Cannot move some windows around. How to restore the system back to sanity? What has been changed in settings / gtk themes? Help...

Did you uninstall the extension from extensions app/website or you just removed the extension folder manually? Did you try to restart your session?

Hi, thanks, I've uninstalled it the standard way. First disabled the extension using the Extension app, then uninstalled it completely. As far as I can see, there's no residue left in /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions:

Hi, is the issue resolved?

You should always remove extensions from the extensions app. All extensions revert their changes when they are disabled/uninstalled.

Hi,

I have uninstalled the extension using the extensions app, the proper way.

Unfortunately, the issue remains. I've restarted the session, to no avail. Then tried restoring system settings with TimeShift, a few days back. Didn't help either. Hence I'm curious, what exactly does the extension change. Any gtk+ stylesheets outside TimeShift's scope?

thanks!

As of now, many applications remain broken. Seems like only native-Gnome applications are okay. Others are messed up - Thunderbird, Softmaker Office, Electron-based apps (Signal, Slack etc). They've lost window chrome - no titlebars, cannot resize or move any of them .

The extension does not change any settings. As for GTK stylesheets, it adds a css import in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, that can't cause any issues if the extension is removed.

Did you try to disable all extensions? Maybe some other extension is causing issues. Pop OS has it's own extension pop-shell that also removes title-bars https://github.com/pop-os/shell/blob/master/src/xprop.ts

Hi, thanks for the tip, appreciated! Looks indeed like something got messed up with pop-shell. When I switch it off, title bars are back. Closing the issue, I'll continue investigating further.
