Dear bug tracker, The bug appeared after the following commit in indicator-appmenu: <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/indicator-appmenu/trunk.15.04/revision/267> Attached is a patch against the latest revision that narrows down the issue.
Developers more familiar with lyx or indicator-appmenu might be able to tell whether the commit exposes an earlier bug of LyX (for instance forgetting to register some signal), or whether the bug is in indicator- appmenu (in that case feel free to adapt my patch). In particular, by looking at the comments in the source, I am not sure that the path taken to update the menu, before this commit, was at all intended. Also, symptoms of this bug include the fact that there is a small delay before the menu is updated, and Scott Kostyshak mentioned that the callback Menu::updateView() in lyx was in fact called twice. This hints at a deeper bug either in lyx or indicator-appmenu. It would be nice to solve all at once because it has made lyx feel sluggish ever since indicator-appmenu was introduced in Ubuntu. Thanks! In the meanwhile, the proper workaround is to run lyx with the command line: QT_X11_NO_NATIVE_MENUBAR=1 lyx or equivalently to adapt /usr/share/applications/lyx.desktop as follows: Exec=env QT_X11_NO_NATIVE_MENUBAR=1 lyx %F ** Patch added: "a minimal working solution -- not meant as a final patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/1430059/+attachment/4387983/+files/indicator-appmenu.c.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1430059 Title: LyX menu is not updated by indicator-appmenu in mode unity-all-menus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/1430059/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
