Broken symbolics on Gtk 4.22 (symbolic format VS Transforms) #1420

Closed

Description

@teamcons

What Happened?

Several emoji icons do not follow Gtk symbolic icon format as described: https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/icon-format.html
Apparently there are transforms which arent supposed to go in as part of limitations, and thus arent rendered in Gtk 4.22. It may work normally in 4.24

Some affected:

emblem-default-symbolic
list-add-symbolic
mail-send-symbolic
dialog-password-symbolic
face-smile-symbolic
face-smile-big-symbolic
...(More emojis)
