Only happens while using Arc, theme issue.When using Adwaita or Greybird, there's ugly 1px spacing between buttonsDevice mounting spinner and eject button take too much space (Original discussion, Upstream bug)Pathbar is not visible when Thunar window is small (Original Discussion)Proper investigation of the delay on logout (Bug 13726)With xfconf 4.13, when resizing Detailed List columns, lots of warnings are printed and eventually Thunar crashes.
