Didn’t you notice that the pamac window sizing is broken?
Or is it only for me? Open pamac-gtk GUI and try to resize the window or maximize it and check out how dramatically it breaks. There is some mess with horizontal and vertical scaling. When you increase the height of the window, the contents grow, but only the area of the previous window size is redrawn. The buttons at the bottom “fly away” to the not-redrawn region, but are clickable in the new place, although they became invisible.
Possibly - I cannot reproduce - If you experience is broken - then I suggest you look at the theme in use.
Also you don’t mention which DE but judging from your profile it is Plasma and that is what I use too.

Have you tried replacing pamac-gtk with pamac-gtk3 from the repos? I dumped pamac-gtk last year as it seems to be more suited to Gnome than Plasma due to its Adwaita dependencies. pamac-gtk3 works well on Plasma (at least it does on my mini-PC), and uses the GTK theme set via the Application Style section of KDE’s System Settings.
Thanks all, seems it’s only me having it. I attach a screenshot, how it looks like.
It’s in KDE Plasma. Removing .cache does not help.
I absolutely no idea how to check the theme stuff. System Settings claims I use Breath Dark as the global theme, and Window Decorations are set Breeze.
Do yourself a flavour and try with a new, fresh user? If it works correctly, then it’s a user-config problem. If there’s still a problem, then the issue is some kind of global config problem.
Your screenshot looks like you are still using pamac-gtk. Did you actually try pamac-gtk3? If you did, and it didn’t fix the problem, then the issue appears to be specific to your system…
Thanks, octopi is what I used before and loved for years, but since manjaro is pushing the ridiculously shi.tty pamac as the default package manager - I gave it a try. Seems that was it. Never again. Pamac is the worst package manager I’ve ever used (for last 14 years), besides Windows Store.
I changed my global theme, accepting “replacing all my settings”, it did not help.
Those are logs that I see in journalctl while launching pamac:
I’m not interested in debugging it, thank you.
pamac is a piece of crap
