Gnome apps ui glitch/shrink

Hey Garuda. Gnome is great. Love it. I still need to test out minecraft. Mentioned in the Telegram that I had issue with movements in minecraft and chat issues as well minor for all gnomes in Pop Os,EdeavourOS, Fedora,Manjaro. Garuda was one I hadn't tried in a long bit but yea.

Here is my system info before I get started with the actual reason for this post.

Anyways back to the main glitch/shrink Ui issue.

when I go to view all apps! The workpace switcher is glitched over the apps. This happens in both Xorg and wayland.

Here is an example.

This may help you.

Wow and that's cause I searched to see if there was a similar problem. Weird that this one didn't show up. But if it already got covered that's great.

Disregard this or I guess it can stay as examples as well since the other one has a shrunked workspace switcher and this one is huge overlapping the apps.

Thanks for replying about this :blush:

I can confirm it's the Native Window Placement Extension. Disabled it and it fixed the issue

Here in the forum you mark the solution not the implementation.
That's why I'm changing that :slight_smile:
