I agree too, having the application menu in system panel for non- maximized application windows that are even often far far away from the top left corner where the application menu draws is really terrible, especially if you have to move the mouse cursor all the way using touchpad.
For maximized windows it is really useful as it saves some space by a painless way. And as for the graphical side, the fade out effect in long window title that Johannes mentioned seems bad to me too, however, it doesn't appear in menus for maximized windows, thus in those for the non-maximized ones it wouldn't be problem if the menu was in its normal place - under the window header :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701294 Title: Always show menu bar for non-maximised windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/701294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
