I don't think this is a bug, but I agree that there should be a better implementation. None of my displays are 4K, but I can definitely see how on some monitors the icons are massive, and on others, they should easily have more rows/columns.
I fixed this by installing the 'App Grid Tweaks' app: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3997/app-grid-tweaks/ The extension allows you to customize the rows, columns, icon size, font size, folders, etc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1919377 Title: gnome-shell 3.38+ HUD app grid is limited to only 4x6 Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: For some reason after Ubuntu 20.04 (Gnome 3.36) the app grid was limited to a maximum of 4x6. This might be acceptable on an iPhone, which is where they actually got the limit from, but it is not at all acceptable for an actual large computer screen. It looks farcical. Even the spacing prior to Ubuntu 20.10 (Gnome 3.38) was much too wide, but this is MUCH MUCH WORSE. It looks like previously it was limited to only ~ 6x12 which was still pretty bad. See the attached screenshot of what this looks like on Gnome 3.36 vs 3.38. Also notice there is more than one page of apps on 3.38 and that it only shows 4x6 at maximum. 🤦 As you will notice this is a 4K screen at 100 dpi, its not a small screen, but is being treated like its a phone.
