Hi Oliver,
Coot's menu problem is only when using Unity on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
Try install a different desktop manager, like XFCE (Xubuntu-desktop),
login using that instead of Unity.
Cheers,
Jesper

Thanks Tim, I normally use the ubuntu-12.04 build. Just tried both debian
builds, both have the same problem unfortunately. I suspect it is an ubuntu
problem - some menu behaviors have changed between 13.10 and 14.04, and I guess
that is the root of the issue.
For the moment, I can either run the affected functions from the scripting
interface directly or make adhoc extension items for the ones I need (like
sequence view) using pop-up molecule-choosers rather than listing the molecules
within the submenus.
In any case, I would recommend that anyone else running Coot on Ubuntu delay
upgrading to 14.04 for the moment.
Best,
Oliver.

Dear Oliver,
which installation of Coot do you use? The official download site
provides Coot built for Ubuntu 12.04 which might be a little far off
from 14.04. You might be happier with the built for Debian jessie
given that Ubuntu is based on Debian. And if that still does not work,
all you need to do is delete the coot-tree again, so you won't loose
much trying.
Best,
Tim

Hi all,
I (foolishly?) upgraded Ubuntu today to the latest LTS version,
14.04, and this appears to have had some negative effects on coot.
I’m running Coot 0.8-pre r5031.
Submenus that allow one to choose a model from within the menu
(e.g. the “Draw Sequence View” menu, or most menus in the
Validation menu), are now completely absent. They were a little
flaky under Ubuntu 13.10 (you had to click the menu and then
dismiss it before the molecule list would populate), but they are
now completely gone and will not return no matter what I do.
Thoughts/suggestions? I suspect it is a unity problem, so will try
switching to gnome and seeing if that fixes the issue.
Best, Oliver.
