The #3 isn't relevant anymore because gedit is patched to disable CSD (Client Side Decorations) on Unity.
However this patch doesn't work for point #2. So when you run gedit as root you get it with CSD and this means no menus. And this affects menus displayed on the panel and in the window titlebar. This is how gedit looks with CSD normally: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tAION31T1J4/VgKtBTmqWOI/AAAAAAAAW5k/qxa5fz7qXdo/s1600 /gedit-minimap.png ** Attachment added: "sudo gedit.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1527590/+attachment/4671094/+files/sudo%20gedit.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1527590 Title: gedit unusable when menu can't be displayed Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: There are multiple ways to use gedit where the menu is not being shown, rendering it unusable: 1- use it over ssh 2- do "sudo gedit" 3- Enable rendering window menus in the window titlebar ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: gedit 3.18.2-1ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: User Name 4.3.0-2.11-generic 4.3.0 Uname: Linux 4.3.0-2-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.19.3-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri Dec 18 07:16:30 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-10-23 (55 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) SourcePackage: gedit UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1527590/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
