Small visual UI issue when hovering over action Icons

[andy-page-developer]

First of all LOVE the extension.

Just got a silly little UI issue.

In Fedora 40 and Gnome 46.1 when I open the weather pane, if I hover over the action icons, the pane shifts a little.

I've recorded a little video to show you.

It's nothing major.

@andy-page-developer thanks for the bug report. Are you using an extension for the panel on the bottom of your screen?

[andy-page-developer]

@penguin-teal so sorry for not providing better diagnostic inf.

Yes the "taskbar" is a Gnome Extension

I've also pasted my Exported Settings in case that helps.

If you need any more info please don't hesitate to ask

I think it is your user theme or possibly even Dash to Panel causing the issue (although I tried the extension and it worked fine). I don't have any events set on hover, and the buttons and visuals are just part of the Clutter library which is part of the GNOME Shell. Therefore, there's not really anything I can do about this; make sure your user theme, GNOME shell, etc. is up to date.

[andy-page-developer]

Thanks very much. I'll investigate further. It was just that this was the only thing on my taskbar that was doing this when hovering over icons. But I'll see what I can do.

Thank you for your time

Hi Again.

I've just done a clean install of Fedora 40 / Gnome 46 (Using Xorg/X11 not wayland) and I've disabled all the extensions except for OpenWeather. Updated everything to latest version an hour ago.

I'm not using any themes. This is out of the box clean etc.

It's still doing the same thing, albeit now in the topbar.

I'll investigate the Clutter API a little more but this might be something that I am unable to fix. Thanks for running more tests, I'll try it in the environment you say.

[andy-page-developer]

No problem. Its very minor, just one of those silly annoyances.

Shout if you need to me to do any testing for you.

[penguin-teal]

Reproduced on Fedora Workstation 40. The issue seems to be that the hover effect on the buttons by the theme increases the padding. This only seems to happen in Clutter and not GTK. I'll think of a solution and might make a bug report to GNOME because I can't see this ever being good thing.

[andy-page-developer]

Ah that's great. glad to know I wasn't going mad :)

Mutter Issue #3470

[ferdnyc]

@penguin-teal

This remains labeled "Invalid", is that still correct? (It's an upstream bug, sure, but it's a valid one that even has a repro.)

[penguin-teal]

Update: Issue has been moved from Mutter issues to Gnome Shell #7726 (although still no response/progress).
