Graphical glitch in elementaryOS Photos' app

[n1c0saurio]

Perfectly described here.

I have the same issue in Loki (gnome 3.18) with Arc theme version 20161005 (manually installed).

I'm experiencing this exact same issue with pantheon-photos

pantheon-photos IS elementary OS "Photos". Adding this snippet from the elementary theme (gtk3/apps.css) to both gtk.css and gtk-dark.css in the gtk-3.18 subfolder solved it for me for all Arc (based) themes. I'm on elementary OS 0.4.1 with GTK+ 3.18.9. I placed the snippet after the first closing curly bracket.
