Public bug reported: Starting with version 3.7.3, gedit has an application menu with menu items such as New Window, Preferences, About and Quit. Unfortunately this menu does not display under Unity, which makes gedit nearly unusable. You can see this if you install gedit 3.7 on Raring from the GNOME 3 PPA (https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3), or build it yourself on Raring (you'll need components from the GNOME 3 PPA in order to do so).
Unity *does* display the application menu in other applications including Nautilus and Epiphany. Perhaps it's failing to display the menu in gedit because gedit has other top-level menus as well (unlike those other applications). Or perhaps there's a deeper explanation. Also see some discussion (but no fix) at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696425 . ** Affects: gedit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1159036 Title: gedit 3.7 doesn't display application menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1159036/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
