I was able to work around the issue by changing the theme in Gnome Tweaks from Yaru to Adwaita or sticking with Yaru and removing the gtk- icon-sizes defintion (note it spans multiple lines) in the gtk2 rc at /usr/share/themes/Yaru/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
This may break the look of other gtk2 applications --- /usr/share/themes/Yaru/gtk-2.0/gtkrc.orig 2020-09-09 16:46:30.332864005 -0500 +++ /usr/share/themes/Yaru/gtk-2.0/gtkrc 2020-09-09 16:47:25.297208691 -0500 @@ -34,12 +34,7 @@ # Set GTK settings gtk-auto-mnemonics = 1 gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = 1 -gtk-icon-sizes="gtk-menu=16,16: -gtk-button=16,16: -gtk-small-toolbar=16,16: -gtk-dnd=16,16: -gtk-dialog=16,16" gtk-toolbar-style = GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS gtk-menu-images = 0 gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817389 Title: GIMP icon sizes small on large and huge setting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1817389/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
