Since commit ed3b8d093e16, the actor's single-child policy is enforced even when using the generic add/remove_child() methods. This makes it possible to follow GTK/AdwBin's lead and replace out custom child allocation with a BinLayout, without changing the actor's semantics in a fundamental way. However this does change slightly how the child is allocated, as it now only expands according to its expand properties, not when the alignment is set to FILL. Even after the preparations in the previous commit, some fallout is still likely, but it will be easy to address, and the cleanup is significant enough to justify it.

Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system. Please refer to the Schedule wiki page to see the supported versions.
Contributing
To contribute, open merge requests at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell.
Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message
guidelines. If a merge request
fixes an existing issue, it is good practice to append the full issue URL
to each commit message. Try to always prefix commit subjects with a relevant
topic, such as panel: or status/network:, and it's always better to write
too much in the commit message body than too little.
Default branch
The default development branch is main. If you still have a local
checkout under the old name, use:
git checkout master
git branch -m master main
git fetch
git branch --unset-upstream
git branch -u origin/main
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main
