Results

Initial setup

• Previous and next buttons don't have the same width.

• Shortlist of input methods is terrible - mostly obscure keyboard layouts that no one will ever want to use. Colemac, anyone?

• Unnecessary padding around web view. Window can be moved around, doesn't look modal to the window below.

• Online accounts Google log in: GNOME logo is malformed (screenshot).

• When adding an account, a choose new password for keyring dialog pops up. Shouldn't be prompting for a keyring password here. (Screenshot.)

• The new session doesn't open with Yelp visible like it's supposed to.

• Crashes when switching languages.

• Time zone suggestions dropdown isn't wide enough. You can see dash marks to indicate horizontal scrolling (this issue can also be seen in Clocks also). (Screenshot.)

Settings

• Universal access panel is blank. - FIXED

• Choose background dialog is oddly constrained (screenshot).

• Input sources list isn't tall enough (screenshot).

• Mouse and touchpad settings - something up with the layout. More padding below headings?

• Sharing list is missing (screenshot). (Could be a continuous issue?)

Files

• Button in path bar is cut off.

• Places sidebar selection jumps around.

• Floating status bar looks tall.
• View popover: can toggle view, zoom and sort even when a directory is empty. Should be insensitive?
• Recent view says "folder is empty" at first. It's not a folder.

• View drop down - sort label is misaligned

Photos

• Photos - initial view looks a bit rough: odd alignments, boring grey icon, etc. Label doesn't mention that you can add photos through ~/Photos.

• View switcher should be insensitive when there aren't any photos.

Calendar

• Crashes when attempting to add a new entry (seen by both AndreasNilsson and AllanDay)

• Calendar settings don't indicate when there's a problem with an online account (like expired credentials).

Contacts

• Does not launch

Shell

• Volume is initially at zero
• A lot of games makes the app picker noisy. Make a category for them similar to Utilities maybe?

Maps

• Strings in location access dialog don't read quite like English (screenshot).

• After denying access to location services, I press the find location button in Maps: it shows an in-app notification that says "Position not found" (screenshot). The in-app notification doesn't have rounded corners. Also, it should show the location access dialog again.

• Gray area where the sidebar is going to be

• Layers popover: "Load Map Layer" should be "Load Map Layer...". Also, it's a bit ambiguous what this is for.

Software

• Launch button doesn't work

Polari

• Welcome graphic is misaligned.

• Join chat room: with no connections, would be better if it started on add connection and moved on to join chat room.

• Input "bar" looks a bit odd when disconnected screenshot. Should maybe just hide the bar in this state.

gedit

• Open popover looks rather squashed when empty (screenshot).

• Spacing could be better in the open popover list (screenshot).

Web

• Doesn't have a shortcuts window.
• Empty state is rather grey.

Tweak Tool

• Hard separator line in header bar looks wrong (screenshot). - FIXED

• Would be nice to lose those sidebar list separators.

Eye of GNOME

• Default appearance isn't very good at all (screenshot). Blank properties sidebar looks bad.

• Default window size is way too small and heading in header bar isn't centered (screenshot).

Logs

• Non-printing characters in the list (screenshot).

• Really very slow in a VM.

• Share/export button is ambiguous - really hard to know what it is (screenshot).

Videos

• Completely blank when I open it for the first time - not encouraging, welcoming, or helpful.

• I can still activate selection mode, despite there not being any videos. I can also search.

• Channels section only includes one channel. Quite disappointing. How do I add more?

Documents

• The initial empty state is drab.

• View drop down - sort label is misaligned.

Music

• Initial empty state - view switcher is hidden rather than being insensitive.
• I put some music files in ~/Music, and Music didn't detect them. Had to restart the app for the tracks to show up.
• Crashes when I click on a track to play it.

Notes

• Notes have lost their background colour.

• Font size and spacing is all off (screenshot).

Weather

• Inconsistently asks for access to location services: repeatedly launching Weather (and denying access to location services), sometimes a permission dialog is shown and sometimes Weather is able to access location data without asking for permission.
