I got tired of waiting for this to be fixed and did some more investigation, finding a workaround for 11.04-12.04 in the meantime thanks to Olivier. I didn't want to disable the menu overlays globally or quit using Unity, but I wanted the Snippets menu in Bluefish so I just disabled the menu overlay in Bluefish. Here's how it's done for anyone who is interested:
If it's already added to the launcher bar, unpin Bluefish from the launcher bar. Copy the Bluefish .desktop file to your home directory by running the following command in Terminal: cp /usr/share/applications/bluefish.desktop ~/.local/share/applications Open Nautilus to your home directory, push Ctrl+H to show hidden files, and then browse to .local/share/applications. Right-click on the bluefish.desktop file and choose Properties. Replace the text in the Command box with the following: env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= bluefish Run the following command in Terminal to make the file executable: chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/bluefish.desktop Double-click the icon in Nautilus--which will now be named "Bluefish Editor"--to open it, and pin it to the launcher bar. >From now on when you click the Bluefish icon in the launcher bar, the menu overlays will be disabled for Bluefish and the Snippets menu will work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777288 Title: Snippet Menu Does Not Display In Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluefish/+bug/777288/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
