Gnome Shell 3.20.1 white bar on left of background

[smiffy6969]

Hiya, First off, best theme for gnome shell by far.... love your work!

I have just installed ubuntu gnome 16.04 and update gnome-shell from stable to 3.20.1.....

The only real issue I am seeing is a thin, say 2px wide white bar down left of the background on desktop. It isn't there when dash is live, or when a window is maximized, only on background (even the notification drawer bottom left seems to skate over the top of it. as well as top panel).

Not a deal breaker just a bit annoying really. I assume it is a padding or margin or something similar.

Any chance you can point me in the right direction, If you can get me close to where it may be in the style files I should be able to find it.

thanks

Paul

Can confirm. Have the same problem running gnome 3.20.1. When I disable desktop icons the line disappears... but that is only a band-aid.

[smiffy6969]

Yes... disabling icons on desktop gets rid of it. Awesome.... for now.

I can confirm that I have the same issue on Fedora 24, gnome 3.20.4.

issue number:
#415

.paned,
paned {
...
  border-left-width: 1px; }

This seems to be the problem, removing it from gtk.css/gtk-dark.css should work

Removed the line above from /usr/share/themes/Paper/gtk-3.20/gtk.css and when selecting paper gtk still shows on top thin white line.

Do i remove it from both gtk.css abd gt-dark.css even though I am not on dark theme?

Sorry, I never noticed there was also a top line since I'm using Gnome with a opaque topbar right now. This did the trick:

searchbar,
.search-bar, .location-bar,
.inline-toolbar {
  background-color: transparent;
...
}

I have the same issue in top bar, but the solution of background-color_ transparent doesent work :(

The top bar fix mentioned by @xythrez didn't worked here too. The left one, did.

--- Edit ---
Actually, it did! There are two different places with same css selector, one at line 5625,
other at line 5780. Both must be changed to transparent in order to it work.

This fix really should be applied to the theme, since it will be override at every update.

Now with Ubuntu 18.04, this bug will appear many times.
