[Bug 682788] Re: Improve Unity menus

2012-05-21 Thread Chris Richards
Please, oh Ubuntu gods, allow the Global application menu to always be visible! There's nothing worse than having to move your mouse around to discover what might be or might not be there.It takes all the snappiness out of the interface. This fading menu is a terrible idea! It means I have

2012-05-21 Thread Chris Richards

I'm using multiple monitors and my mouse pointer frequently gets stuck while moving between the monitors. It's very fustrating and irritating behaviour.I'm guessing that there is a threshold cursor speed at which the pointer stops if it is below it. Could you add the ability to change this sp
