So, this morning I updated my Fedora 43 KDE workstation to Plasma 6.6, and I noticed some bizarre issues. I noticed the icons for Ungoogled Chromium and OBS studio where not rendering correctly. Eventually I noticed that these where the only apps on my computer that looked wrong. Every other app icon is rendering correctly. These rendered correctly on Plasma 6.5.X. Very strange.
At first I assumed this had something to do with all the random packages and changes I had made to my system over time, so I updated my laptop running Fedora Kinoite, and ran into the same issue. I then installed these apps on another computer running KDE Linux, and ran into the same issue. So clearly its not anything to do with my install or a packaging issue with Fedora.
Not really a big deal as the apps work just fine, just thought it was interesting. My only thought is that these apps use a different image format their icons than everything else. They are also both flatpaks. So uh, yeah.
Ok thank you for reporting it. Yeah its probably gotta be some SVG thing huh. I guess these two specific icons use that clipPath element, which are not able to render correctly on plasma. Very interesting. From your bug report it looks like they are already aware of this issue as its marked as a dupe. So its only a matter of time until it gets resolved.
The only question is what changed between plasma 6.5 and 6.6 to suddenly surface this bug?
I see, so they changed the preferred icon type to SVGs over PNGs, but their SVG renderer has a bizarre bug in it and that’s why the issue surfaced. Interesting.
