Screeenshot of the problem

Screenshot of the problem when emacs is launched as a normal user with default parameters.

Hi, thanks reporting this.
The screenshot speaks it self.

Gnu Emacs 27.1 (build 1, x86_64-mageia-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.23)
2020-09-30
With W11 support.

I suspect this is due the fact this a side effect of bug https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28299 , GTK Apps complains about missing window_decorations.css
GTK3 theme is sometimes not properly set in fresh installation Mageia 8 with only Plasma as a desktop.
No, even trying under Plasma (Systemsettings5 => Application Appearance => Configure GTK/GNOME...) No effects.

I wonder if this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1477745 affects us or an other bug somewhere.

I have found the source of the problem. It comes from Application Style -> Configure Icons and Toolbars -> Main toolbar label. By default, it is set on Beside Icons. However, Emacs only display text with this parameter.
To revert to the default behaviour of Emacs (Icons only except for Save and Undo) you have to change the value to Text Only. You can use Below Icons and Emacs will only display icons.

It's only a workaround because it seems Emacs does not properly understand the main toolbar label parameter.

In KUbuntu 20.04, Emacs toolbar is displayed correctly using the default parameter (Beside Icons)

Still valid with Mageia 9 Bêta 2 and emacs-28.2-10.mga9.

We stopped supporting Mageia 8 almost 8 months ago 
https://blog.mageia.org/en/2023/12/30/mageia-8-end-of-life/

That means we also stopped fixing Mageia 8 bugs and that this bug report needs to be closed, regardless of whether it was fixed for Mageia 8 or not.

If this particular bug did not get fixed for Mageia 8, then we do regret that.

If this issue is still present in Mageia 9 or cauldron, then please reopen this report, write a comment and adjust the "Version:" field.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => OLD

Still valid in Mageia 9 and Mageia Cauldron. For Mageia 9:
- emacs-29.4-1
- plasma-workspace-5.27.10-1.2
For Cauldron:
- emacs-29.4-1
- plasma-workspace-6.1.4-1

To be more specific, when you set the Toolbar label in Plasma parameters the results are:
- None -> emacs displays text besides icons
- Text Only -> emacs displays icons only except for Save and Undo (default emacs behaviour)
- Beside icons -> emacs displays text only
- Below icons -> emacs display icons only

Tested with several DEs in cauldron (all using X): Mate, Gnome and Xfce all have the same issue. I didn't manage to test with wayland.

Thanks, David.

In cauldron, I can now see the icons above the text (having both seems a good choice to me). Mostly modern icons, except those for Open directory and Close, which are traditional, but if that annoys anyone: that is a different issue.
