I've seen some weird issues with the systray, since it's overlapping with the rest of the bar on some conditions.
First it started to overlap when my download module had less than 3 digits, so i replaced the line
label-connected = %downspeed% to label-connected = %downspeed:8% which add space so it's like the module always have the same width even with 1 digit.

But then it started to overlap depending the number of icon the systray have. Here's some examples with 2 and 3 icons :
polybar-nok
polybar-ok

I saw some similar issues about systray overlap like #425 but i don't know if the problem come from the same thing.
Also here's my polybar config

This sometimes happens to me too! When I get 3 icons, if the first one disappears (because I closed the program), then it will be shown a blank space, overlapping the rest of the bar.

This issue affects me too. It is not easy to track down the cause, since it happens "randomly".

I started noticing the same thing too. For me it only seems to happen with the dropbox icon.

(Note: The overlap is only very small)

EDIT: Managed to make the overlap larger by increasing the tray-padding

Not sure if this is related, but if I close something, the space isn't reclaimed - as if the tray area doesn't resize completely properly when something disappears. Right now I end up reloading polybar:


My power icon ends up obscured.

Happens to me too, tray on right side overlaps the bar... does it happen when the tray is on the left?

This happens to me sometimes when the bar first starts on first login, but rarely (if ever) happens when I restart the bar.

I think @seeruk is into something. It happens a lot when I eject an USB key and the fuse icon disappears.

Edit : This issue was closed here before but apparently, the bug came back

I can confirm this as well.. It appears to be because the tray is first drawn, then the systray icons appear..

For me the situation is worse, as on my smaller screen the icons are basically drawn all over the place.

If you are able to compile the project from source, please try out the fix/reconfigure-tray branch to see if it changes the behavior.

I did notice now, when trying to reproduce the issue, that whenever the right* side of the bar occupies more space than possible, it will start truncating the modules within it; fading them out with a gradient. This is by design since, currently, the tray area is not considered being part of the bar.

* if the tray is configured to appear on the right

@jaagr, I've tested the fix/reconfigure-tray branch against the issues described in #944 and it seems to work fine.

Not really fixed. The bug does not happen over the date module anymore but it appear over the mpd module in some circumstances.

In my setup the tray just overlap the mpd module when the music is playing (toggle).

Paused: no overlap.
tray_good

Playing: overlap.
tray_bad

Just in case, the config is fine. Disabling the tray and everything works as expected.

EDIT: switching from to / didn't help. I guess the problem is related with the 'click' feature.

EDIT.2: after a while of music playing the overlap get fixed.

Thanks!

I'm running the fix/reconfigure-tray branch, and the behavior is a little better, but still not fixed. Even restarting the bar often doesn't fix things.

Let me know if there's more debug info that could help out.

A bit of extra info: For me, and easy way to trigger the problem is using Qt based systray icons. If I run this systray example app, polybar never shifts over its contents for the newly created icon.

Maybe there is something strange/broken about how Qt reserves space in the tray?

I have the problem too... and I also thinking the problem comes from QT icons.
I made a test without open qt application and I did have the issue in those circumtances for the moment...

I confirm this bug as well. Sometimes when a new systray icon is added, my seconds part in time module gets overdrawn with systray (time module is on the left of systray). When the icon is removed, only blank space (bar background colour) remains in its place - seconds counter still missing.

Just for the sake of completion, i'd like to point out this also happens when your tray is on the left side of the bar as well

I use indicator-kdeconnect and when a device is disconnected, the notification tray overlap and the icon hides and when device is reconnected the tray becomes invisible/icon doesn't show up again.

I'm facing the same problem. Tray icons poorly displayed, and overlapping Polybar icons.

Also experiencing this issue.

One thing worth noting, however, is that I never encountered this issue on my old machines (720p internal display on my laptop, 1440p dual monitors on desktop). I just got a new laptop with a 4k screen and now I'm experiencing this issue for the first time. Curious how many other folks are on very high resolution screens. I had to crank up the tray-maxsize a lot for icon visibility, so I wonder if they're rendering past their bounds due to that higher maxsize value.

Setting fixed-center = false fixes the issue for me. I have no center-aligned modules, so I think polybar is trying to force all left/right aligned modules to only half the bar even when there are no centered modules.

@porkloin

@evanc577's suggestion of fixed-center = false worked for me. Can't say for others, but my tray is behaving as expected now 😄

Are you on a high DPI display?

I'm using a DPI screen and the @evanc577 solution doesn't work for me.

just installed from master (7724c4d), same issue. HH:mm should appear after the date.

Screenshot from 2019-05-25 10-29-30

adding label-margin = 3 to [module/date] fixed it for me, but it's ugly. i should note that anything less than 3 still gets overlapped by the tray.

The issue was that it used the position of the center module to
calculate the leftmost possible position of the block. However, if the

I think I found the problem. Could you please go over to #1936 and see if that fixes your issue.

I have determined that this occurs when you have fixed-center = true (or not set at all) and the right modules take up a lot of space. Can you confirm?

@matejdro Please open a new issue. The issue is likely unrelated, especially since this only happened with fixed-center = true.
