Control: severity -1 important Hi maintainers,
I can confirm this bug. It is a major annoyance when it comes to select or edit themes which is why I took the liberty of setting the bug to “important” severity. Please revert partially https://salsa.debian.org/debian-mate-team/mate-themes/-/commit/b8eb97b4d47015efa747535e10b0aa203a52c3d5 by applying the patch in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=3;bug=1121943;filename=2000_fix-gtk-theme-not-installed-warning.patch;msg=10 which doesn't change anything with respect to gtk2 engines and thus still satisfies https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1092596 Thanks, Mathias On Sat, 1 Aug 2026 16:54:01 +0200 (CEST) SuiVue <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > I can confirm this.
