A new applicationadded to the gnome3 favorites bar is not visible if the favorites bar is "ful"

[Joachim Backes]

My gnome-shell favorites bar is rather ful. Now if trying to add
additional apps to the favorites (by activities->applications), it is
accepted, but the apps do not appear there.

If removing in this situation some item from the favorites bar, the
first previously not visible added application *now is visible* at the
bottom of the favorites bar.

Question: Is there any chance to control the favorites bar so added apps
are immediately visible too?

There's limited space... we do shrink items to accomodate more items,
but there's a limit where shrinking things further makes it very hard to
see and click the items. I think the limit is 13.

Or are you describing some other problem where the dash does not show
your additions despite more space being available ?
