Thank you for clarifying. Maybe I am missing something but I am on
Ubuntu 13.10 with Gnome 3.10 and libgtk-3-0 at version 3.10.7. Also, on
Gnome 3.8 I did not have the problem. I will look at the thread again. I
have tried all the different themes I can find and they all have the
same problem on Gnome 3.10. Maybe the bug in gtk pre 3.4 is back? :)
