As part of the big bug review for 16.04 LTS, I have tested this on 15.10 and the bug is still there.
Although sub menus do appear upon pressing, for instance, Alt +F, when Nautilus is launched using gksu, they DON'T appear when it's launched using gksu -k. >From what I understand, gksu has been deprecated in favour of pkexec. I tested the bug by creating a Nautilus policy file and launching it using pkexec, finding that the menus appear below the title bar (as when launching using gksu). However, I don't know how environment preservation (invoked with the -k flag in gksu) pertains to pkexec, so perhaps someone with more knowledge of this can weigh in? ** Tags added: desktop-bugscrub-triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1289204 Title: Local Menus and app-indicator don't work when running as root or invoking as root with "gksu" [video demo] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1289204/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
