[BUG]: wrong Bottom position of bar

[skyxx]

Describe the bug When set bottom position of bar its displayed only half of his height. Looks like problem with margin. When i try setup bar height or margins it is showed on good position but when finished final position is with negative position to original.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• Simply choose Bottom position of bar in Top Bar Properties

Relevant Specs:

• Open Bar version: 36
• Gnome version: 46.3.1
• OS/Distribution: Majaro
• Other installed extensions if interference is expected [Optional]: none

Screenshots Helpful to see if there is a visual bug or if your Top Bar is modified by another extension that may be causing an interference.

Error Stack Trace none

Thank you for reporting! I am however unable to reproduce it. I had tested on Gnome 46 on Ubuntu and Fedora Workstation. I also launched a fresh VM now with Fedora WS 40 and updated it to Gnome 46.3.1 and installed Open Bar 36. It works as expected in Bottom position also. Expected behavior: it will be fully visible at bottom edge when margin is zero and will move up further from the edge when margin is increased.

I would need you to try a few things so we can try to narrow down where the issue might be coming from:

• Are there any other extensions that decide the position of the Bar e.g. Just Perfection? If so, can pls try with only Open Bar?
• Are you using multi-monitor setup? If so, can you pls try with only one?
• Are you using Display Scaling? If so, can you try with 100% scaling?
• If you have access to any other Distribution, can you pls try with it? I do not expect any issues with Manjaro but never used it either.

Thanks.

Hi, thank you for fast reply and hints.

I have notebook with high resolution and 200% scaling which is the issue. Returning it to 100% bottom position is ok. Interesting is that Top position with high scaling is ok.

• tested also on Fedora with 200% scaling with same issue.
• i have disabled all extension which modify position
• no multi monitor setup

Thank you for the update - the panel box position at bottom depends on its height which needs to scale with Display scaling. I have added a fix to the GitHub main branch. Two files have been updated: extension.js and stylesheets.js. You can replace these files in your local install with those from GitHub and try out.

Edit: You will need to log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.

Let me know how it goes. Thanks.
