Description
Hello,
I'm running CachyOS May 2025 Release, with Cinnamon 6.4.10-1.1.
I keep seeing in my logs this message;
(cinnamon:1180): Clutter-WARNING **: 16:13:04.554: Attempting to add actor of type 'StBoxLayout' to a container of type 'StBoxLayout', but the actor has already a parent of type 'StBoxLayout'.
I did not file this as a bug report, I'm not sure if this is a bug, or something I need to correct on my end? If there is something I can do, or to make sure everything is correct on my end, I'd greatly appreciate a reply, to make sure something isn't messed up.
THANKS

Start by reproducing the warning on the reported Cinnamon environment and locate the responsible code; done requires determining whether the warning indicates a Cinnamon bug and documenting or fixing it.
