Okay, this is, of course, not a bug per se but one big fat sign that the
GNOME "usability" people have really been messing things up recently. As
it turns out, there are the usual menus in the gedit window ("File",
"Edit", ...). BUT. Because Apple II only had a screen size of 280×192,
clearly in 2014 you have to have menus in the GNOME Shell top bar to
save screen estate. On a twin 1920x1200 display setup. And to totally
confuse users, some menu items, that used to be in the fricking Edit
menu for like ages, have to move to that GNOME Shell top bar application
menu. Presumably to justify its existence. So, yes, the item is still
there - it just moved to another entirely different menu. I guess we all
have to drink a bit more of that OS X Koolaid to get just how awesome it
is that the menu for application Y on screen 1 is in the Shell title bar
on screen 3 mere 80 centimeters away.-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1298666 Title: Preferences option not present in Edit menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1298666/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
