The #3 isn't relevant anymore because gedit is patched to disable CSD (Client Side Decorations) on Unity.
However this patch doesn't work for point #2. So when you run gedit as root you get it with CSD and this means no menus. And this affects menus displayed on the panel and in the window titlebar. This is how gedit looks with CSD normally: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tAION31T1J4/VgKtBTmqWOI/AAAAAAAAW5k/qxa5fz7qXdo/s1600 /gedit-minimap.png ** Attachment added: "sudo gedit.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1527590/+attachment/4671094/+files/sudo%20gedit.png -- 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/1527590 Title: gedit unusable when menu can't be displayed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1527590/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
