[Bug 787465] Re: View-Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal
gnome-terminal's setting Show menubar by default in new terminals appears to work now with gtk+ 3.3.6-0ubuntu3 for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise in GNOME Shell. I'll leave this bug open for the issue of ViewShow Menubar not making sense when Unity's appmenu is being used. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787465 Title: View-Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-gtk/+bug/787465/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Daniel: Oh I'm sorry! I'm confusing this bug with the possibly related bug where gnome-terminal itself doesn't obey its own show menubar setting. Good thing you asked me specifically. :-) Sorry for the confusion. I'm using gnome-shell, so I'm not suffering from this behavior at all, and I don't know if I still have it either if I were to login using Unity. But I did have this behavior when I first did a fresh install of Oneiric, that much I know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787465 Title: View-Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-gtk/+bug/787465/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 787465] Re: View-Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal
@Dan Bolser: Gnome Terminal uses only Ctrl+Alt+* shortcuts, so Ctrl+F/B should work normally, and menu presence should not matter. If any Gnome Terminal shortcuts conflict with bash/mc/… ones, please file a separate bug. I personally can't see why this is a bug in appmenu, it works as expected here. What *is* an issue here is presence of Show menubar option, which is confusing for Unity users. I'm marking it back as affecting gnome-terminal, as we should just hide that option for Unity users (it does nothing, and it can't do anything because the menu is never shown locally). ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Confirmed ** Changed in: appmenu-gtk (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal If you click on the global menus the View-Show MenuBar and (un)check it, it won't work, the menu will stay at the 'global menus panel' or whatever it is.

My fix-list was much shorter:
xbase-clients
nautilus-sendto-empathy
telepathy-indicator
One installing one of those fixed the problem for me. gnome-terminal now
correctly does not display the menubar when told to do so by saved settings.
Thanks, Daniel! This issue has been driving me insane for a month.

[Bug 787465] Re: View-Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal
Ugh. I loathe global menus, but I don't want a menubar on my terminal. Could we maybe just have a dialog box pop up when you uncheck show menu bar explaining that if you remove the menu, you'll have to get it back by alt-clicking, or running something in the command line, or whatever? I think it's safe to assume that if a user wants a terminal and doesn't want a menu bar, that we can probably relax the usability requirements a little. This might not be the best approach for, say, Evolution, but this is the terminal. If you want to muck around in the terminal, you'd better know what you're doing anyway.

Please don't disable this... When using gnome terminal, I like to move around the CLI using ctrl-f/b.

Re: [Bug 787465] Re: View-Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal
Dan: The emacs-style shortcuts you refer to are part of bash, so I don't think removing anything in gnome-terminal would be removing that functinality in bash, unless that was intentional, which would be very very mean. :( There already is an option available via gconf-editor, that has to do with menu mnemonics. Disabling menu mnemonics in gnome-terminal enables you to keep the menu bar and still have ALT+F and ALT+B be passed through to the application running in the terminal. But I definitely would want this to be a full-fledged option in gnome-terminal's preferences. That would be sweet.

Whatever resolution is chosen for this bug, please restore the ability for more Alt+key combinations to pass through to the terminal's application.

[Bug 787465] Re: View-Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal
Whether there's a global menu or not, when show menubar is disabled, there should not be a menubar *inside* the gnome-terminal window. Right now, when there is no global menu, AND the terminal is configured to not have a menubar, it'll have one until it's toggled twice. You could argue that the option should not be displayed when that menubar would go to the global menu. But when it's not, it shouldn't interfere with or override gnome-terminal's logic about whether or not to display a menu. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #658760 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658760 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787465 Title: View-Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/787465/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Confirming the usefulness of the upstream bug post. The easiest workaround is to unset the UBUNTU_MENUPROXY environment variable. Should you want that state of affairs to be semi-permanent, the variable is set in two files: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80appmenu /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80appmenu-gtk3 Comment out the contents of those files and gnome-terminal's menu will behave properly. We can also assume you'll need to reset the variable should you be gripped by the need to suffer Unity and the Mac menu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787465 Title: View-Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/787465/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
