Bug description
The Keyboard type icon on my pannel tends to widen gradually until taking disproportionnate size. It resets each time I restart Cinnamon but continues to grow.
Steps to reproduce
It happens automatically.
Expected behavior
The button should stay at a fixed size.
Additional information
This is the second install of Mint on my computer and the bug appeared on both. I have three preinstalled keyboard layouts: QWERTY (English), AZERTY (France) and QWERTZ (Swiss).

Start with the Cinnamon keyboard applet and reproduce the gradual panel-button growth using the three reported keyboard layouts. Trace where the applet's icon or button width is updated, then verify that it remains fixed during use and after switching layouts.
