This bug still occurs in gnome-mahjongg version 3.22.0. Tried on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS ( year 2020 ) using standard Ubuntu package.
The bug: One cannot change the board layout because the Mahjongg preferences and the Help buttons are not displayed. One fix is to edit src/gnome-mahjongg.vala and rebuild Line 145 bool shell_shows_menubar; Gtk.Settings.get_default ().get ("gtk-shell-shows-menubar", out shell_shows_menubar); + shell_shows_menubar = true; /* Force this to let us see the Preferences menu */ if (!shell_shows_menubar) It maybe that one can get the same affect by setting the GTK setting 'gtk-shell-shows-menubar in some config file, e.g. /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, but I do not know what other programs would be affected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-mahjongg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1197400 Title: Main menu bar (Settings, etc) not showing.
