humongous "super"-icons, mate1.16.0-gtk3.22

[MDykstra]

For specific icon-sets some "super"-icons on-top of the main icon take their original huge size in Caja main view. This probably happens when the icon-set does not have the correctly-sized "super"-icon, but uses a "super"-icon of larger size, but then does not force to resize it.

This sort of thing is another longstanding bug that I'm pretty sure was inherited from GNOME, though it may be an on and off thing. I've seen this over the years in MATE, in Cinnamon, and even in cairo-dock.

I seen this for the first time using Caja in GTK3 version of Mate 1.16.0. I used the same icon-set with green folders on GTK2 version of Mate, till now and haven't seen this. Maybe it is something in GTK3.

[lukefromdc]

This may indeed be a GTK3 issue, I don't think I ever had it before GTK3 was released

Same issue as shown in https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/issues/556? At least it seems so to me.

[lukefromdc]

Looks like it but I don't have Thunar installed for that exact test

[monsta]

I think Thunar was just used to set the emblems there. What's similar is the huge size of them...

[lukefromdc]

I've seen this sort of thing happen with and only with GTK3 when the only icon in the icon theme available for something is a large icon, even if its a scalable svg. I've always blamed the icon theme for that and fixed it by scaling the offending icon down to the smaller sizes and including it in those folders in the icon theme.

Maybe we need to find the place in the code where Caja loads these icons, and scale them to proper size?
