Currently many windows are displayed in the top left corner of the screen instead of the proper location. This is a major bug, because it breaks a lot of applications.

Actually, it does not only seem to break window placement, but break the look of all GTK3 applications, e.g. Firefox: I have dark menu text on dark background, text selection is the same color as the background and icons in the bookmark bar are too close to each over, partly overlapping.

More of a me too comment. Pulse audio volume control is where this issue was very obvious, when set to any theme other than Adwaita theme.

See attachment for missing tab borders, missing volume sliders, etc.

I'm having the same problems with GTK. It happened after I 'commanded', like any master, Arch to update.

Last time I update was.. Yesterday's morning. This morning, around 8AM (BRT/GMT-3), I updated Arch and problems started showing up. That's bad because now I have to use Chrome/Chromium.. :D

Problems observed:
- selecting texts doesn't show you the selected text at all
- scroller vanishes from my eyes, but still there;
- can't see many form inputs and can't properly move the position indicator of texts;
- saving stuff can be a mess: can't see inputs;
- mouse's right-button action window is buggy;

Thank God Firefox is the sole reason I use GTK for.. If I'm not mistaken.. I hope.

@devkid, @dakaujunk, @JF: you have a different problem. Old themes are incompatible with GTK+ 3.20, they needs to be ported. If you are using a GTK+ theme, which is not yet ported to GTK+ 3.20, then open a new task for the appropriate theme package. Currently the following incompatibilities were reported:
- mate-themes - https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/48783
- numix-themes - https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/48855

@György, thanks for the follow up but.. I'm not sure how this works (not a spectacular dev/sysadmin here) but I don't change my themes; I use the default ones. Isn't the default theme updated accordingly - or, at least, changed accordingly?

Before noticing it was (now, maybe) a GTK problem, I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I did not delete its folder from my home dir though. Either way, I don't think it would affect positively the behavior of my Firefox instance.

@JF: not the Firefox theme, the GTK+ theme. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK%2B#Configuration_tools

@György, my bad! Sorry for my dumbness, haha.

Either way, I have not changed anything from its defaults - "Arch's defaults" - unless I need to, which I didn't. The GTK+3 default's theme is Adwaita (if I'm not mistaken). In Arch, after KDE5 installation seems to be Breeze - to blend well. I don't remember installing Breeze-GTK pkg.

After changing to Adwaita or Oxygen, the problems seems to be fixed. I guess I need to open a ticket for Breeze them.

Edit: in case anyone search for this 'bug', here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/48871
Comment by Balló György (City-busz) - Sunday, 10 April 2016, 16:47 GMT
@JF: Yes, you can open a new task for the breeze-gtk package, as it's not yet ported to GTK+ 3.20.
