I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 with Gnome 3.36.1 and the yaru-dark theme (default). In the top bar, some non-default applications have vertically stretched icons, like what you see in this image showing Firefox Dev Edition and Zoom (on the left side the icons are stretched, on the right side you have some examples of correct sizing):

enter image description here

Both apps were not installed from the store (because they're not there). Firefox Dev Edition was installed by placing it into the /opt folder and creating a .desktop file that linked to the path. Zoom was installed using their .deb package.

How could I fix this? I tried changing the gnome theme, but it didn't helped.

I think it's a gnome-shell bug. However value changes in text-scaling-factor would trigger top panel resize automatically and fix the icons distortion.

A workaround to fix the icon distortion in top panel. Adding following script to "Startup Application Preference", it will be executed after login and changes text-scaling-factor value and reset.

-- #!/bin/bash

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.01 gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor

exit 0

As of August 28th, 2020 it look like this bug has now been fixed (at least I don't see it anymore, and the only thing I did was updating the OS regularly).
