[Bug 682788] Re: Improve Unity Global Menu
I first came to this bug report because I'm so frustrated with the way the Global Menu has been implemented. First of all, WHY are we auto-hiding menu options? The fact that a menu is hidden without hovering over it with the cursor is insane! All that does is cause confusion, and hides options that others might be looking for or wishing they had that they didn't know existed (because they're hidden)! Menu options should be visible at all times, where they can be discovered and easily/quickly clicked on. Right now, with everything being auto-hidden, I have to remember the menu is up at the top left of the screen (when my window is small rather than maxed), and then I have to hover the panel to see my options (very annoying/time consuming), and then I have to find the right option (if it was always visible I would have already found it), and then continue selecting what I originally wanted to accomplish. Comment #24 is 100% correct. By having the menu on the window itself, when not maximized, people have to move their eyes less, and move their arms and cursor less. It saves time and it and makes sense because the menus are connected to the app you are currently working on. By placing them in the global menu for a non-maxed window, you are confusing people as to what those menu options actually belong to, especially when you have to change focus from app to menu or to other app. Even the desktop has it's own menu.. [x] Global Menu only for maximized windows makes the most sense. Most people on small screens run their apps maximized to get the most space possible, so naturally, placing the menu in the global menu when windows are maximized keeps the menu in the same areas as when the window is non-maxed (attached to the top left of the app), and it saves space by removing an extra bar. When people have very large screens they tend to use smaller windows and would appreciate having menus attached to each app, so it's easier to know which menu belongs to what app, as well as keeping the user from having to move their eyes, arms, and cursor very far to get to what menu they want (it's faster and easier.) They won't have to worry about what app has focus to know which menu they're working with.. So the solution is simple! When windows are maxed use the global menu, and NEVER auto-hide them; at it saves space, but is also technically the same thing as having the menu on the app window itself because it appears in the correct area of the window itself (and it's not confusing because it will never be auto-hidden.) When windows are not maxed, keep the menu attached to the window itself, so people have less to think about, and less hand/eye movement (It's also faster and easier.) On a side note.. Showing the title before the menu is kind of annoying as well.. If anything, the title should be placed after the menu so the menu and close/max/min buttons are always in the same place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682788 Title: Improve Unity Global Menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/682788/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Daniel, Here is a link with the new info that you requested: http://www.alsa- project.org/db/?f=f45fe06caa17b80c9035a724397c027bf79de1c8 This problem is still relevant for me and my system, even with the newest Karmic install. The only cool part is that the volume now works with optical out. :) Still, the audio seems to be playing faster, like double speed.

[Bug 147230] Re: Changing workspaces via scrollwheel on desktop is problematic, especially when using touchpad
After enabling View Port Switching with my Scroll Wheel (buttons 4 5) in Karmic, how do I get this feature to only work when the mouse is over an empty desktop area? Right now it switches even when the mouse is hovering an application, like Firefox.. -- Changing workspaces via scrollwheel on desktop is problematic, especially when using touchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 147230] Re: Changing workspaces via scrollwheel on desktop is problematic, especially when using touchpad
I figured it out on my own, finally... Turns out I had to disable buttons 4 and 5 in the Desktop Wall Bindings, and turn on buttons 4 and 5 in Viewport Switcher Desktop-based Viewport Switching. -- Changing workspaces via scrollwheel on desktop is problematic, especially when using touchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Daniel: Recently I tried my Fiber cable again, and after a bit of messing around I got it working right, but after a bit it stopped working, then started it working again at that same fast speed... Sounds somewhat chipmunkish. Right now I am using the latest Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex) with all the latest updates, today. Anything you need to know from me to help get this fixed? Also, do you know if I will ever be able to adjust the volume of my output for this cable? I noticed in order to get the sound to work I have to check the checkbox IEC958 in the Switches tab of the Volume Control menu, then I have to put the slider for the IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA in the Playback tab of the Volume Control menu to MAX.. -- Optical Audio Out Plays At Wrong Speed.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198523 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
