Does anyone knows how to fix it?

[pieska]

quick and dirty fix in extension.js:

        this._bin = new St.Bin({child: this._icon});

//        this._box.add(this._bin);
        this._box.actor.add_child(this._bin);
//        this.add_actor(this._box);
        this.actor.add_child(this._box);
        this.add_style_class_name('panel-status-button');

the extension needs probably a rewrite following the gnome shell extension reference guide

I'm using the fork for Gnome 45 from @xkahn and this modification worked for me!!! Thanks @pieska

[pieska]

I created a branch for gnome-46: https://github.com/pieska/connectionmanager2/tree/gnome-46

[xkahn]

Ah! Great! I hadn't had time to look at the problem yet. thank you @pieska.

Also as I just tested the change on gnome 45 (fedora 39) and it worked as well.
