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. Assigning to maintainer.

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.
