I'm using Linux Mint 18.3. I cannot move the control buttons to left for applications "Calculator" and "Disks". With other applications it's working fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/

Just as I was starting to get used to buttons being on the left (I would still prefer them on the right) I had a look at the System Log and it has its buttons on the right. Why should that be? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ub

"It is not a setting, it's where the designers chose to place them." Many users switching to linux are used to using Microsoft Windows. This is so common that we even have linux distributions to match this switch. I am a right handed person, and I feel that the experience to move my mouse all the

> It is not a setting, it's where the designers chose to place them. Then you should consider replacing your designers with someone who understands the term "user experience". A bit harsh, I know, but so is your statement "This will not change". I have used 16.04LTS with unity now for some weeks

I don't understand why designers should dictate every potential option of my user interphase. I'm not sure of the status of this issue. I have moved users to Ubuntu Desktop from Windows. They had the choice of upgrading their Windows desktops from earlier versions of the OS to Windows 10. Windows

Oh, I forgot to mention: this revolutionary top menu cuts down even more choices, it's not only about the re-learning; I cannot use "Sloppy" focus mode + "Raise on click" with it, what I need badly. I used a utility on Windows for this behaviour, too. Hopefully you guys will not remove them in the

Another reason to enable controls on the right: compatibility with Chrome's native look. You'll reply that Chrome can be customized to adopt the OS theme. That's true, and it shows that the Chrome team respects their users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

Because you don't know what users want does not prevent you from doing what they ask. They want controls on the right because it is the way it is on all other platforms. Your "WON'T FIX" is simply a lack of respect of your own customers, who will, as I will, change platform and distribution. --

Although I understand that the window controls are on the left (as Stephen writes), there are many of us who dual-boot using Windows as well, for certain specific tasks/ document formatting etc. Under these circumstances it becomes extremely frustrating to have to switch between the two positions.
