[SOLVED] Cinnamon icon bar icons cut off after system package upgrade

SOLUTION: Right click on task bar -> Panel settings -> Size options -> Check "Use customized panel size" and "Allow Cinnamon to scale panel . . ." fixed the issue.

EDIT: Tried changing Menu icon back to default (it was originally overridden) and got rid of the "Show Desktop" app because those two icons in particular are oversized, which might be forcing the vertical alignment downward off the screen. It appears that even the default gear icon for the menu is affected. Can anyone tell me which Menu icon they are using (odd that the original is a .PNG instead of a scalable vector image)?

Upgraded to community/cinnamon 2.2.3-3, now my icons and text in the taskbar are cut off. I tried switching the theme to no avail. See at the bottom of the screenshot (note that this image wasn't cropped or "cut off" -- that is actually the problem I am encountering):

Thanks for this fix. I could only get certain themes to work without the huge icons/skinny taskbar, but this fixes all themes.
