Some weeks ago I reported on some odd effects I've been experiencing with Firefox on Ubuntu 12.04, GNOME Classic.
I have discovered a way to consistently duplicate the problem, and I think I have discovered a way to avoid the problem. Open Firefox. Open the history window (History > Show All History). Minimize the history window. Open the history window again, the same way as the first time. (History > Show All History, as opposed to restoring the already opened history window.) Using that approach, when the history window displays the second time, the title bar of the window is missing, along with the minimize, maximize, and close buttons. It is possible to get that title bar back by clicking on the window's button (called Library) on the task bar, which will minimize the window. Clicking on that button again restores the window and it has its title bar. The solution I found was to start the Gnome Classic session with GNOME Classic (No effects). The missing title bar problem does not appear in the "No effects" mode. This mode also solves another problem where windows open with the title bar tucked up under the top bar on the desktop, the one with the menus, a bunch of icons for starting programs, notifications, time, etc. So, unless I discover something that I miss about the "effects," I'll stick with "no effects" from now on, until I figure out how to get things to work the way I wan them to in Ubuntu 14.04. Maybe I'll even get that done before the next LTS release. :-) -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
