Troubleshooting a Missing Icons from Gnome 42 System Overview (shortcut SUPER S)
Affected version
Desktop: GNOME v: 42.4 Distro: EndeavourOS Kernel: 5.15.64-1-lts arch: x86_64 bits: 64
Bug summary
When using the Gnome System Overview (SUPER S) Icon is missing for Betterbird.
The correct icon is showing for Betterbird in the Gnome Dash and All applications (SUPER A).
I did go to the following directories to verify the
- /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
- /opt/betterbird/chrome/icons/default
Now I'm trying to find out how the Gnome System Overview locates and displays the preferred icon.
Steps to reproduce
- Launch Betterbird.
- Confirmed the correct Betterbird Desktop Icon shows on the Gnome Dash and in All Programs
- Press the SUPER S shortcut to open the Gnome System View.
What happened
What did GNOME Shell do that was unexpected?
The Gnome System View shows a generic icon assigned to the Betterbird application (see screenshot).
What did you expect to happen
The same icon used for the desktop should be displayed.
Relevant logs, screenshots, screencasts etc.
