You can use a KDE3-style menu by right clicking on the launcher icon and selecting "Switch to Classic Menu style". And trust me, I share your dislike of Kickoff. I just wonder how we could resolve this bug in Ubuntu? The very nature of Kickoff is a one-pane type of menu, so using something else would seem to be the only way to resolve this unless we can figure out some clever hack to fix this.
Changing the default menu for this cycle to the Classical Menu would probably require extensive discussion and would be much debated. (In the process making this a default-settings bug) Such a move might also be frowned upon by upstream since they seem somewhat in love with it. For me it's not that big of a deal. I just use plasmoid-lancelot as my launcher, it's features are cool enough and it overcomes some of the worst peeves I have with Kickoff enough that I don't hate it for being a one-pane-type menu launcher. The classical menu is also available. I'm just wondering how we would be able to resolve this bug. :-) -- K menu application lists cannot expand fully https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/271596 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
