<p>I'm pretty sure this a GTK+ issue where it hardcodes some bad defaults forcing themes or apps to fix with custom CSS like <a href="https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird/pull/248" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/shimmerproject/Greybird/pull/248/hovercard">this Issue</a>. I guess this is the same as <a href="https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16050" rel="nofollow">this Thunar bug</a> linked from a (possibly) related <a href="https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16048" rel="nofollow">Mousepad bug</a>.</p>
<p>IMO, such issues should be fixed where they'll have the most effect:</p>
<ol>
<li>In GTK+, fix all GTK+ apps</li>
<li>Workarounds in the themes (where there are already usually many app-specific hacks), fix all apps when that theme is in use.</li>
<li>Local CSS where each app has to individually fix the issue.</li>
</ol>
