Public bug reported:
Hi,
I recently moved from windows 7 to ubuntu. one of the things that is
really strange to me is the system tray / notification area / main menu
bar "launcher icons" do not auto hide in to a sub menu like windows xp,
vista, 7, & 8. It looks like a windows 2000 system tray with icons
taking over the entire bar /panel.
I for one like to have a lot of launcher icons which i only use
sparingly. this feature /bug is especially annyoing for me because the
main menu bar in ubuntu doubles as a universal menu and title bar for
all apps /windows (when maximized) and it also contains the main menu
and (maximize, minimize, close) buttons leaving even less space.
I use the window title bar for many things like click, draging and
dropping, maximizing / restoring windows, right click "menu item close",
so since i cant see the menus and the launcher icons take up all the
space i end up either clicking on the menu or on one of the launcher
icons when i try to do one of the said actions.
In addition if i remove the items from main menu bar then it might be
difficult for me to display them if i need them which might require some
commands in terminal.
Please create an auto-hide (sub menu) for launcher icons.
system info: ubuntu 14.04 LTS files 3.10.1
