It looks like fixing this problem is actually on the radar for 12.04 LTS. It's important to note that the fix _cannot_ simply be an ON/OFF option:
1) ON - Leaves alive all the same issues described in this lengthy bug report. 2) OFF - Defeats the benefits of the Global Menu with a maximized window. While those two options should certainly be available, it is critical that the fix includes the single most important and most requested option: [x] Global Menu only for maximized windows Without this option, no progress toward a real solution will have been made. Having all three options will satisfy the full range of users and use-cases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682788 Title: Global menu is not ergonomical on large screens To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/682788/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
