I also agree that this is a terrible design decision. I can't help but wonder what the logic could be behind this. Considering the top panel is taking up screen real estate anyway, and it's completely empty because we can't have applets, why not actually make that space useful and make the fact that menus are there apparent. I don't want to have to guess where the menu items are going to appear when I mouse over the empty panel. Also, I'm extremely disappointed with the lack of preferences and customisation available in unity. If you're going to make arbitrary and poor decisions about design, at least give users the option of alternate behavior.
I've been using ubuntu since feisty fawn, and it is the increasing trend of these kinds of half-baked anti-choice decisions that are causing me to research other distributions. I'm sad to say that if this keeps up, I will be permanently leaving the ubuntu community. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/726658 Title: appmenu menu items only appear on mouseover -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
