Please re-open this bug. It doesnt matter what the thing at the top bar of the screen is called - gnome-panel or unity menubar.
Neither does it matter that you claim it is a "design decision" rather than a bug. The basic fact is, some applications require the whole of the top row of the screen for their own menu. Even where that is not the case, some users prefer the top bar to be uncluttered most of the time. I simply cannot imagine that it can be so difficult to reproduce the old behavior - have all of the icons scroll up, just leaving the normal application menu (in case an application is maximised), or desktop background (in other cases). As for your claim that it would make the menubar harder to use, this is clearly not the case, since if the user wants the current behaviour they can either not enable autohide, or else they can move the cursor to the very top of the screen and force the unity menubar to show itself. I think what you mean to say is that the unity menu bar embeds the current application menu, so therefore it cannot be hidden without hiding the application menu too. As a suggestion then - how about this - if the menubar can no longer scroll upwards, how about if the icons (clock, etc) would auto-scroll to the right. This would achieve somewhat the same effect without having the entire bar disappear. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/807552 Title: Top panel no longer autohides and cannot be closed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/807552/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
