I've been testing Unity and I've gotta add my concerns to this bug... On my netbook, and 1440x900 laptop, the global menu feels like a good fit. However, on my 22" monitor and my dual work monitors it's really not a good fit at all. Wouldn't it make sense to just disable the global menu when the resolution hits a certain threshold or when dual monitors exist?
I mean, beyond 900 vertical pixels it seems we are generating a lot of usability issues just for the relatively minute vertical space saving (2.6%). Also, it seems a bit backwards to me, making the decision to have a global menu, and THEN trying to work out how to wedge it into the common dual-monitor/high resolution use cases. Surely it's better to specify the problem that needs to be solved and THEN come up with a solution based on all the common use cases... perhaps the best solution to saving vertical space and improving usability wouldn't involve a global menu at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683084 Title: Global menu doesn't work well with more than one screen -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
