I'm affected by this bug too. This is not exactly a fix, more of a brush under the carpet: I realised that I had absolutely no use for the Toolbar, as all of the functions are easily accessible in the menu bar right above it (or by keyboard shortcuts, of course). So I simply got rid of the Toolbar, which not only made the annoying empty space go away, but also, in doing so, gave more more screen space for editing.
To remove the Toolbar, simply go to the menu Options->Show/Hide->Tool- bar and select None. Then Options->Save Options to make this change persist between sessions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Emacs Lisp, which is subscribed to emacs24 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1623585 Title: Toolbar is blank To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs24/+bug/1623585/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-elisp Post to : ubuntu-elisp@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-elisp More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
