Public bug reported:
**Description:**
After upgrading system packages on Ubuntu 25.04, the window control
buttons (minimize, maximize, close) appear at inconsistent sizes across
different GTK applications.
For example:
- In **Nautilus** and **GNOME Text Editor**, the window buttons are noticeably
**smaller**.
- In **GNOME Terminal**, the window buttons appear **larger**, as expected.
**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Install Ubuntu using the `ubuntu-25.04-beta-desktop-amd64.iso`.
2. Observe that window button sizes are consistent across GTK apps.
3. Upgrade system packages using the default package manager (`sudo apt update
&& sudo apt upgrade`).
4. Restart and observe the change in window button sizes across different GTK
applications.
**Expected Behavior:**
Window button sizes should remain consistent across all GTK apps, before
and after system updates.
**Actual Behavior:**
After the system upgrade, some apps (e.g., Nautilus, GNOME Text Editor)
display smaller window buttons, while others (e.g., GNOME Terminal)
retain larger buttons.
**Additional Info:**
- ISO used: `ubuntu-25.04-beta-desktop-amd64.iso`
- This issue was not present in the clean installation, only after the upgrade.
- Affects multiple core GNOME apps.
