Description Adrian Lopez 2019-08-13 20:51:08 CEST
Created attachment 8877 
Look at the notification area, on the botton right of the screen.

After upgrading to xfce 4.14 the notification are icons look broken.
This already happened to me in the past when I upgraded to xfce 4.12.

Any solution for this? It happened on both of my computers.

Are you sure this bug is related to xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin and not built-in systray plugin? Which plugins do you have at the panel?
Comment 2 Adrian Lopez 2019-08-13 22:37:17 CEST
Indeed, it's the built-in systray plugin (I didn't found the right category sorry). 
This are my plugins:

I could use xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin instead, but then only some of my tray items are showed on it (discord, blueman) while the others are not displayed (network manager, pamac):

Comment 3 Adrian Lopez 2019-08-13 22:38:42 CEST
I didn't mention it on my last message. xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin icons are not broken, they are displayed correctly. But it doesn't show some of my tray items for some reason.
Comment 4 Viktor Odintsev editbugs 2019-08-13 23:28:35 CEST
Yes, xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin is not a drop-in systray replacement. An application should explicitly support SNI to display icons in SN-plugin. All (?) Qt applications support it, but many GTK+ applications don't (unless they use libappindicator). So both plugins should be used. If SNI-capable application wants do display the icon, it will be displayed in SN-plugin only. Systray is used as fallback is case there is no SN-plugin.
Comment 5 Adrian Lopez 2019-08-13 23:49:42 CEST
Thank you for the aclaration. As you can see in the attachment of my 1º post, the built-in systray plugin is showing broken icons. That's the reason why I opened the ticket.
Comment 6 Andre Miranda editbugs 2019-08-14 04:51:48 CEST
Is compositing disabled (Window Manager Tweaks -> Compositor)?
Comment 7 Adrian Lopez 2019-08-14 16:52:51 CEST
Yes, it's disabled.
Comment 8 Andre Miranda editbugs 2019-08-14 16:54:41 CEST

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 14577 ***
Comment 9 Adrian Lopez 2019-08-14 17:13:58 CEST
I can confirm it's duplicated. The bug fixes when I enable the compositor. Thank you.
