Bar is very tall all of a sudden

I have no idea what caused this or where to start looking for a fix, hopefully someone knows :P

I've seen this happen when gtk4-layer-shell becomes unavailable. Did you happen to remove, or do something to your system, which may have removed this shared library?

[rosefromthedead]

No:

$ ldd way-shell | grep layer
	libgtk4-layer-shell.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk4-layer-shell.so.0 (0x00007fc14e1fe000)

I ran gtk4-layer-demo and it looks normal..

[ldelossa]

Odd, can you dump the logs from stdout into a text file and share?

[rosefromthedead]

way-shell.log
here's me opening it from main and ^C'ing shortly after

I should say, this doesn't seem to be because of a change in way-shell; old and new versions are all misbehaving in the same way

[rosefromthedead]

There was a gtk4-layer-shell update in Arch recently, but downgrading to the previous version didn't fix it. Neither did downgrading gtk4 :(

[ldelossa]

Are you building locally or using a package manager?

[rosefromthedead]

Building locally with make && ./way-shell

[ldelossa]

Try a "make clean && git clean -xdf" and build again, maybe something some old objects are laying around

[rosefromthedead]

Nope, same stuff. I tried installing the latest schema xml in /usr/... and rebuilding the schema for good measure but no luck there either. FWIW I have an old copy of way-shell from the AUR installed in /usr/ and that has the same problem.

(would you accept a patch to switch to e.g. meson?)

[rosefromthedead]

My friend, also on Arch, can reproduce. My Fedora machine does not have the problem, with way-shell installed from copr

Seems to be an issue with libadwaita 1.6, which is causing the height-request property of the panel to be set to 200. Downgrading libadwaita to 1.5.4 returns behavior to normal.
