General UI issues

Settings Manager

General

  • It is allowed to resize the window so that part of the tabbar and some labels of the embedded dialog become invisible. For example, this is how Window Manager Tweaks looks like: https://i.imgur.com/NU92WKa.png
  • GtkTreeViews with Buttons need a unified look (inline-toolbar or not, button with icons+label or only icons, symbolic vs. colored icons, position of toolbar - horizontal vs. vertical)

Appearance

  • On Focus and Settings tabs, some keyboard accelerators are highlighted by default. Doesn't happen when the dialog is run as standalone.

Display

  • The horizontal scrollbar is shown initially but disappears on (any?) mouse click. The window becomes unscrollable: https://i.imgur.com/oGSb2WK.png
  • The top on/off buttons aren't aligned with other controls.

Notifications

  • The “Default position” somehow doesn't affect the preview - it always shows in the top right corner, no matter what position is chosen.
  • The Notifications dialog tabs style (buttons) doesn't match other dialogs.

Panel

  • If I change Output from “Automatic” to “Primary”, the “Span monitors” checkbox becomes insensitive. But it never becomes sensitive again, even if I change back to “Automatic”. It takes reopening the dialog to make the checkbox sensitive.
  • If opening Panel from Settings Manager, there's no vertical scrollbar shown. However, when scrolling, the window scrolls but the scroll events also get applied to the controls inside the window: e.g., the Mode changes from Horizontal to Vertical, Output changes, etc. The panel starts jumping on the screen.
