Icons are redrawn over one another in the status bar

[blaine12100]

Hi

So currently my WiFi icons are getting re drawn over one another. I checked the Network Manger Wiki and they suggested to install the gtk3-classic package over gtk3 (I am currently using Arco Linux which is a Fork of Arch and using Qtile as my WM). I also installed the 32 bit version of this package also and I rebooted the machine. But the problem still persists.

Is there anything else that I can do from my end to solve this issue?

Hi. I'm not quite sure what the bug is, or what desktop environment that is (MATE? XFCE?).

That line in the Arch Wiki seems outdated, since the patch in #12 seems to have gone, as it was apparently fixed upstream.

Regarding tray icons, I know there can be two technologies used to render tray icons: AppIndicator (or Ayatana Indicators) and GTK Status Icon (which is deprecated and buggy in my experience). Depending on the desktop environment used, you could swap the technology.

So I'm using Qtile Window Manager.

If it doesn't happen under normal gtk3, find out which is the problematic patch.

There is a script in this repository at scripts/test-exclude-each-patch.sh which can help automate this testing -- it'll build everything individually excluding each patch. Then, it'll prompt to install each one. After installing, restart your desktop environment and see if that's the one. Alternately, you can manually comment (#) patches out in the series file and run makepkg as usual.

Let us know which excluded patch works, and we'll be able to figure what to do next.
