Description

Created attachment 8945 No icons displayed when maximized and the search bar is empty

Actions performed: Run xfce4-settings-manager and maximize the window. Do a search for a string none of the settings contain (any special char like ![]/ will do, but any non-match also works). Delete the string so the search bar is empty.

Expected outcome: All available settings are displayed.

Actual outcome: No setting is displayed (see attachment). Note that, when there is at least one match for the search string, and then the entire string is deleted, some of the settings come back: for instance, when I input "terminal" in the search and then delete the entire string simultaneously (ctrl+a backspace, or ctrl+backspace), the only settings displayed are "Appearance", "Desktop", "File manager", "Notifications" and "Panel".

This only happens when the window is maximized.
