I used dash-to-panel because the problem is easier to show. But same problem with GNOME vanilla dash.

Hi, thanks for reporting this.
Assigned to the package maintainer.
Added GNOME maintainers, as this issue appears only on GNOME.

Packagers: feel free to reassign consequently.
Reporter: Thanks for the provided screenshot, this always helps.

(Please set the status to 'assigned' if you are working on it)
