Hallo zusammen,
seit einiger Zeit sind die Symbole in sway in der waybar deutlich kleiner als der zugehörige Text. Zuvor füllten die Symbole die Texthöhe gut aus.
Leider kann ich den Zeitraum des Auftretens nicht mehr genau eingrenzen. Das letzte Update von waybar scheint ein Weilchen her zu sein. Möglicherweise liegt es am vorletzten Upgrade von sway. So wie ich es verstehe sind es text-glyphs die mit der Schriftgröße mitskalieren (was sie auch tun, icon-size hat keinen Effekt), aber sie sind eben deutlich kleiner geworden.

Macht es Sinn einen Downgrade zu probieren, oder findet ihr einen Fehler in meinen configs?
