Bug#1118169: gnome-shell-extension-dashtodock: auto shrink to fit all icons suddenly not working

[Jonathan Kamens]

Package: gnome-shell-extension-dashtodock
Version: 102-1
Severity: normal

In the Dash to Dock settings, I do NOT have "Fixed icon size: scroll
to reveal other icons" checked, which means icons should be scaled
down so that all of them fit in the dock.

This is (as of recently, I think) not happening, i.e., instead the
icons are being sized to their maximum configured size and if they
don't all fit I have to scroll the dock to access the ones hidden at
the top or bottom.

And here's the weird thing: If I open the "Extensions" app, or the
Dash to Dock settings, then suddenly the icons are scaled down
properly. But as soon as I close both of those apps it goes back to
not being scaled and me having to scroll. Bizarre!
