Hi, I copy here the bug I filled about this issue and was marked as duplicate as this bug, just to simplify's devs life: [--- Hi team, Early today I found that after installing extra plugins to GIMP -that added a couple of entries to the menu bar- the last two menu topics, Windows and Help, where overlapped by the indicators: you should seriously consider this because it's impossible to access the hidden menus without first quitting some indicators. I mean, I love the indicators and it's Mac-like look, but there should be a way to hide some of them, either automatically or manually, just as happens on other systems like Win, KDE SC, etc. Best, Martin ] Cheers! ** Attachment added: "menu+indicators.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/655184/+attachment/2307350/+files/menu%2Bindicators.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655184 Title: Menus should be condensed to fit panel/overlay of appmenu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/655184/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Use a crevron character (like ») for the menu, it’ll take less space than the word “More”.

in extreme cases like Stefan's, perhaps something like "if it can't show at least two menus or XXX pixels, default to only show 'More'" but named something like "Menu" and having the whole app's menu in vertical/overflow layout... Or adopt something like Firefox's approach and make the app name clickable and popup the menu (though that would be inconsistent with the default wide-enough behavior) nachokb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655184 Title: Menus should be condensed to fit panel/overlay of appmenu -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 655184] Re: Menus should be condensed to fit panel/overlay of appmenu
FWIW, here's a screenshot of my netbook/tablet (Asus EeePC T101MT) in portrait mode as already mentioned by sanktnelson (comment #12). Of the 7 menus of gedit, only the first two are visible. In view of this, I would prefer a "More" button that is considerably small (not wider than, say, the height of the menu bar; though it still has to provide enough area to be clickable reasonably easily). Also note that in some cases, it might happen that no more than one menu icon (or not even that) can be displayed (in which case a button labeled "More" seems out-of-place). ** Attachment added: "gedit-tablet-portrait.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/655184/+attachment/2106681/+files/gedit-tablet-portrait.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655184 Title: Menus should be condensed to fit panel/overlay of appmenu -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Some programs show overleaped program titles and menus. So you cannot see what you're doing on the screen. This is the same problem but on the left end of the panel. Who can tell me what ActualiFile is? Longer program names disturb the menu items and make them go blind. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of the overleap problem" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/655184/+attachment/1981461/+files/unitypanel.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655184 Title: Menus should be condensed to fit panel/overlay of appmenu -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 655184] Re: Menus should be condensed to fit panel/overlay of appmenu
No, please just use "More" and leave it at that. We'll need to make sure top-level hotkeys (like Alt-H) jump all the way to the correct end menu.

[Bug 655184] Re: Menus should be condensed to fit panel/overlay of appmenu
Would it be worth expanding the ">>" menu to be a bit larger.
One could possibly even be really cunning and make it proportional in
size to the number of sub-menus it is replacing. (">> (2)" or ""
">>>").

This doesn't help much, but in the context of the texmaker screenshot above. This application would have difficulties displaying this menu on anything but a fully maximised window on this resolution.
