This bug still affects Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with emacs-25 package, when running the Unity desktop. In particular editing lisp files and using slime is next to impossible. I have found a fix:
For emacs launched from a terminal window simply add export UBUNTU_MENU_PROXY=emacs to .bashrc For emacs launched from clicking on icons, i have modified the exec line of /usr/share/applications/emacs25.desktop to the following: Exec=/usr/bin/emacs %F instead of emacs25 because then the mechanism that puts the menu at the top of the screen is inhibited. In both cases the menu bar is confined to the emacs windows and then works OK. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/415101 Title: Karmic: emacs22-gtk generated menus do not update (GTK only) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/emacs/+bug/415101/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
