From a google it looks like this might be a rare GTK thing caused by another running instance. Doing pkill ironbar before restarting it, or rebooting, should consistently fix this.

Going to close this assuming it hasn't happened since. If you run into it again, let me know and I'll re-open.

I think I've had this before too, but it disappeared after a reboot

Interesting, good to know.

I'll keep this closed for now since it still seems to point more to a weird rare GTK/compositor issue than anything else and there's a known fix.
