I managed to narrow the problem down to having something to do with dual monitors, and then played around a bit with the settings. My results are that no matter what other configuration I set my two monitors in, gnome-shell operates perfectly. That is, if my secondary monitor is on the left, right or below my primary one, all is well. If, however, the secondary monitor is set to be on top of the primary one (As it physically is in my current setup), then the overview and app search functionality starts using some very weird kind of vertical scaling and becomes unusable. The window previews are so small that the (most of the time invisible) X button is bigger than the window itself, thus only making me able to close the windows instead of switching to them or moving them. Application search only shows half of the first row, the other half fading away. I am running Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa (development branch) and version 3.36.0-2ubuntu1 of gnome-shell. Here are screenshots of my problem: The overview screen barely showing my open windows https://i.ibb.co/bJZFdR8/Kuvakaappaus-2020-03-29-14-14-22.png The search function only showing the top half of first row of icons https://i.ibb.co/g4qV3wP/Kuvakaappaus-2020-03-29-14-14-40.png When you mouse-over the windows many times over and over you might get the X button to show https://i.ibb.co/QjRKZr1/Kuvakaappaus-2020-03-29-14-18-07.png To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1869571/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
