Created attachment 8945 No icons displayed when maximized and the search bar is empty Actions performed: Run xfce4-settings-manager and maximize the window. Do a search for a string none of the settings contain (any special char like ![]/ will do, but any non-match also works). Delete the string so the search bar is empty. Expected outcome: All available settings are displayed. Actual outcome: No setting is displayed (see attachment). Note that, when there is at least one match for the search string, and then the entire string is deleted, some of the settings come back: for instance, when I input "terminal" in the search and then delete the entire string simultaneously (ctrl+a backspace, or ctrl+backspace), the only settings displayed are "Appearance", "Desktop", "File manager", "Notifications" and "Panel". This only happens when the window is maximized.
I can confirm this bug on Arch Linux. I also noticed that some search results don't make sense, regardless of the window's maximization state. For example, if I search for the letter "x" the results include Xfce Terminal (OK) Power Manager and Settings Editor (why?). Searching for "z" returns 4 results, none of them has "z" in its name. I'm not sure if this is a different bug or two outcomes of the same bug.
The settings manager also checks the Comment string of the corresponding .desktop files, therefore not a bug. Comment=Settings for the Xfce Power Manager Comment=Graphical settings editor for Xfconf Regarding the bug related to the maximized window state, it looks like the current hack needs to be modified again: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/commit/?id=e1b546a6eaf92f21fc8bb290b285c84dfdf09ae2
I have a similar issue where if I expand the window horizontally and icons from the second row move to the first, I can't resize down again. The same thing happens if I maximize. The width gets stuck. The only way to get it down is to search to remove icons from view and then I can resize down again. How about set the settings window large enough and make in unresizable? gtk_window_set_resizable(GTK_WINDOW (dialog), FALSE);
Nevermind, I can reproduce the "no icons" without maximizing. just search for x then l, etc.. and it's happen eventually.
