However I understand David Bannon studied the issue a lot with many Linux distros and this was the best solution for all distros, new and old. I guess the problem will go away gradually when the new AppInd stuff spreads. Juha -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

Perhaps you could try spinning up an Ubuntu VM and see if the bug persists there - in which case it'd be a Gtk2 backend bug, otherwise it is probably a bug with how Cinnamon implements app indicator.
