Bug Description

I just noticed that the user menu of gnome-shell is not aligned like other menu items. When clicking it, it shows an extended box too. I expect it to be like other menu items.

Note that I'm using Default as my gnome-shell user css, but other css'es also show this bug.

It looks like this is a gnome-shell bug revealed by one of the many extensions you have installed.

But I don't think it's a bug in any extension. It should be fixable in gnome-shell. Please report the bug upstream here:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues

and then tell us the new bug ID.

I have hibernate-status-button and suspend-button and that's probably user
menu is extended since the buttons don't fit. Should I still file an
upstream bug?

Yes, gnome-shell should still be smart enough to put the right and down arrows in alignment. Please log a bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues

Although upstream the GNOME developers might argue that the bug is hidden without extensions, and therefore may choose to not fix it.
