Whisker menu - no longer resizes

I recently updated my Manjaro system only to find that my Xfce whisker-menu appears small and I can no longer resize it. I noticed the corner arrow is not present like before. I removed and re-installed xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin, but the problem remains the same. There doesn't appear to be any configuration for this on the property options for the whisker-menu.

Any ideas how this can be fixed?

Re: Whisker menu - no longer resizes

This is a consequence of the porting to Wayland. There seem to be new options for adjusting the size though: https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/x … issues/112

I don't think that I'm using Wayland.

$ loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID

Type=x11. This would show as Wayland, if that were the case.

Yes, but look at the link I gave: the whisker-menu maintainer says he doesn't want to maintain two different code paths for X11 and Wayland, so X11 has lost this feature too: https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/x … note_79261
