Wrong icons with several themes

Hi everybody,

I found at least two icon themes that seem not to work properly, even if everything is alright.

I've been suggested to report a bug and I'm glad of doing it, but it's my first time, so I apologize if something is not written in the right way.

Here are two discussions I started in the Xfce forum where the problems are explained:

https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=11930
https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=11860

Let me know if some more information is needed.

Yes, it seems there are differences on how xfdesktop and thunar load icons, the latter is not loading the icon from the correct theme. This issue is also present in Thunar 1.7.0:

Weird, I can't reproduce this anymore with Thunar and xfdesktop from current git master: https://i.imgur.com/eGUjnuG.png

I tested with Thunar 1.8.7 and it did not show the correct icons for .odt and .zip files.

I'm using that theme from AUR (so there may be differences) and here it looks good.

Does the icon size matter? The screenshot from comment #1 shows smaller icons (and a different view).
Comment 6 Andre Miranda editbugs 2019-09-26 02:56:42 CEST
Icon view or size doesn't matter for Matrilineare, but Thunar needs to be refreshed (ctrl+r) to make sure icons are picked up.

I'm starting to suspect this may be in part a theme issue.

My results are:
Adwaita/GNOME/High Contrast - only .docx icon look different, xfdesktop seems to pick the right one
elementary Xfce/Faenza/Moka - icons look the same on both
Matrilineare - completely different, hard to tell which one is right, but looks like it's xfdesktop
