When a submenu has enough entries that the screen height isn't enough, a handy little arrow appears on the bottom of the submenu so that you may hover your mouse over it to scroll down and see the lower, off-screen entries.

The problem is, if you scroll down that way and then try to click on one of those lower entries, the menu instantly scrolls back up the moment your mouse leaver the area of the arrow, making it impossible to click on those entries. An example would be the system settings submenu on a laptop.

For some submenus I solved it by using mozo to put those entries in subsubmenus, but that only circumvents the issue and doesn't remove it.

Tested with the latest version of the git repo.

Adding a new launcher through the menu editor, using "Application in Terminal" pulldown, everything works as expected. However, a right click on desktop Create Launcher fails in that if one selects the "Application in Terminal" pulldown, the resulting launcher, when executed, fails:

"There was an error launching the application.
Details: Failed to execute child process "xterm" (No such file or directory)"

I want to remove the mate-specific settings from System/Settings menu.
These settings included in the mate-conrol-center, I don't need these duplicates.

Hello folks! First of all, congratulations for the absolutely insanely great project that is MATE.

My problem is: I run (GNU/)Linux Mint and weekly update my system, using "apt-get update -y; apt-get upgrade -y; apt-get upgrade -y;".

Last week after my update the "mintmenu" stopped to work. More specifically, it loads, but if I click in anywhere on "Favorites" or "Applications" submenu it does nothing. I've formatted and reinstaled the Linux Mint 14 and repeated the update process (only changed the sources.list to olivia / raring, which I think that shouldn't impact on anything). The problem occurred again. So I've started "mintmenu" on terminal, and clicked on firefox. When I click in anything on mintmenu I got the following output:

f
i
r
e
f
o
x

%
u
[Errno 2] No such file or directory

I've pasted the /var/apt/term.log on http://pastebin.com/mBsQct7f .

This is a big problem because makes the menu completely unusable. Thanks a lot.

It would be a cool feature if Mate menu/top left menu/Main menu would unfold on hover. It would give similar feeling to the Gnome Shell mouse on corner. it would be easier to run application and type it's names.

so could you please add unfold on hover for those menus?

Hello,

When right-clicking on mate-menu and selecting "Edit menu", then Mozo is not triggered. Nothing happens.
Mozo by itself can be opened up just fine without errors.

Please let me know if and how can I provide any needed logs for this as I am not sure about getting logs for panel items.

MATE 1.18.0

Was hoping you may be able to offer me some advice the best way to implement some hackery and change the titles on the advanced menu (in 1.16 and *.18) Im able to add categories and custom launchers, however Im caught up on the titles to sections provided by plugins. To eliminate possibility of confusion, Ive attached a screen shot and boxed in red the tags im referencing.

Steps to reproduce this issue

1. Download my sample user-wps-office.menu.tar.gz and extract to ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/
   (According to the file content, you may need some desktop-files which I packed here under /usr/share/applications/ to reproduce)
   usr-share-applications.tar.gz

tar -xzvf user-wps-office.menu.tar.gz
mv user-wps-office.menu ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/

2. The crash is caused by duplicated Menuname in ~/.config/menus/mate-applications.menu. Add these contents to mate-applications.menu
   mate-applications.menu.tar.gz

	<Menu>
		<Name>wps-office</Name>
		<Directory>wps-office.directory</Directory>
		<Layout>
			<Merge type="menus" />
			<Filename>wps-office-pdf.desktop</Filename>
			<Filename>wps-office-wpp.desktop</Filename>
			<Filename>wps-office-et.desktop</Filename>
			<Filename>wps-office-wps.desktop</Filename>
			<Merge type="files" />
		</Layout>
	</Menu>

3. Be sure that there are duplicated Menunames in the last Layout tag:

<Layout>
    ......
    <Menuname>wps-office</Menuname>
    <Menuname>wps-office</Menuname>
</Layout>

Now you can expect the crash of mate-menus. If not, open a menu editor e.g. alacarte and click "Restore System Default"

A searchbar would be great in MATE menu for launching application fast. MintMenu or Whisker menu ffor Xfce has this feature.
I can assign keyboard shortcuts for launching applications easily and fast but can't do that for all of them. A searchbar in the MATE menu would do the same easily.

Expected behaviour

python/matemenu.c gets compiled properly by make command

Actual behaviour

Several compile ERRORS are thrown

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

configure log https://hastebin.com/abapiyuwis.makefile
make install log https://hastebin.com/nepojefujo.swift
configured with
LIBSOUP_LIBS=/usr/lib64
ACLOCAL_FLAG=/usr/share/aclocal/ CC="gcc ${BUILD64}"
CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}" USE_ARCH=64
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64} sh autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-static
--localstatedir=/var --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin
--datadir=/usr/share/doc

make command is:

USE_ARCH=64 CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" make LIBDIR=/usr/lib64 PREFIX=/usr

Obvious workaround that fixes this is passing --disable-python, but of course I dont want that to be my permanent solution

It would be nice if the icons in the panel application menu and
other icon things show up faster.
Preloading and caching if the memory is available might be a choice,
if that not exist. Mate 1.8 (current/tumbleweed repo) is running here in
openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Keep the Desktop running.
Mate is a main style and have in my view more and good extras!
Thanks!

Expected behaviour

Transparency/opacity option somewhere in the configuration options

Actual behaviour

Transparency in the config is gone. Color picker doesn't have alpha channel either.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Just right click and select options/preferences. I searched everywhere.
This was possible in previous versions (I have a screenshot of Linux mint 17.3 here)

Expected behaviour: running "zypper dup -l" in TW provides easy upgrades.

Actual behaviour: running "zypper dup -l" provides error: ```

Problem: mate-menu-20.04.1-2.1.noarch requires python3-xdg, but this requirement cannot be provided
deleted providers: python3-pyxdg-0.26-6.2.noarch
not installable providers: python3-xdg-4.0.1-1.1.noarch[download.opensuse.org-oss]
Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
deinstallation of mate-menu-20.04.1-2.1.noarch
deinstallation of mate-panel-branding-openSUSE-42.1-4.44.noarch
deinstallation of mate-menu-lang-20.04.1-2.1.noarch
Solution 2: deinstallation of python3-pyxdg-0.26-6.2.noarch
Solution 3: keep obsolete python3-pyxdg-0.26-6.2.noarch
Solution 4: break mate-menu-20.04.1-2.1.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/4/c/d/?] (c):

In Sys76 laptop resulting choice of options left the log in window showing as a black screen . . . if password is entered in the black then system will log into regular GUI.  Problem went away when selecting earlier 5.8 kernel option.

When doing xdg-open file.zip, the contents of the file are displayed with less in a terminal - instead of using engrampa.

xdg-open tries to find the application by looking into the following files:

• ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
• /usr/share/mate/applications/defaults.list
• /usr/share/applications/defaults.list

/usr/share/mate/applications/defaults.list does not exist, so it falls back to the default file provided by the ubuntu 14.04 desktop-file-utils package. This one maps .zip files to file-roller:

application/zip=file-roller.desktop

It would help if mate shipped its own defaults.list file that actually defines engrampa to be used for zip files.

I can not more edit menus with the right-click mouse (using debian strectch). I do not know if this is a normal behavior now, in any case, if normal, you need to change the help pages where you specifically suggest using the right mouse button to edit the panel menus.

Every time after booting, the first time I open the MATE menu, nothing will happen for several seconds and during that time, MATE will ignore any (left or right) clicks on any window decoration or panel part. Some panel icons are also affected (like the volume one), but the Quicklaunch icons remain responsive, including the hide windows/show desktop button. Keyboard shortcuts like Alt-F2 and Ctrl-Shift-T still work.

It does not seem to matter how long the MATE session has been running. If the menu was opened sometime during that session, it will from then on work fine. If it hasn't been opened yet (or it is being/was changed by a new install, if I'm not mistaken), it will invariably freeze anything panel and window manager related for some seconds.

Not sure this belongs here, since it affects parts outside of the menu, but I figured I wouldn't know where else to put it.

I have a menu that contains a large number of items. The menu is taller than the screen. I can use the bottom arrow on the menu to scroll down so that I can see the items that were originally off of the bottom of the screen. However, when I move the cursor back up from the down arrow so that I can select a now-visible item, the menu snaps back to the original unscrolled display making it impossible to select the item. Using version 1.6.0.5.fc20 of mate-menus, libraries, etc.

Hi everybody, I have been seeing this bugs since I installed Mate a year ago. I have tried it in a laptop with Nvidia card and in a pc with Intel card because the first time I thought it would be because of the nvidia private driver.

When I start the computer and I open for first time the Mate menu, it does not appear. It is only showed a square with the shape of the menu, but within, there is nothing.

Thanks!

Some menus are twice.

Expected behaviour

Menus would close with one click over their button, while they're open

Actual behaviour

Menus remain open when you click to close. You click again and they finally close. One click opens, two clicks close. The clicks don't have to be within some time frame, you can click once and later click again to successfully close the menu.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Click on mate-menu to open, move the mouse to other menus, in and out... then try to close them by clicking on top of any menu button.

none (affects other distributions too, from Debian 9 to Arch Linux).

In the menu System - Administration, an icon appears twice in Linux Mint Mate 18 :

Under the old Gnome2 system, as well as various other desktops, whenever an application was installed through Wine, it would be added to it's appropriate sub-menu under the Wine menu entry in the Gnome menu. Something has changed in the Mate fork of this, since now nothing is getting added. To even get the Wine menu at all I had to edit /etc/xdg/menus/mate-applications.menu to add the "MergeDir" section. But even after doing that, subsequent Wine application installs are not creating the appropriate sub-menus.

As an example: once you have made the modification in /etc/xdg/menus/mate-applications.menu to see the Wine menu, try installing IrfanView (a quick and non-intrusive install to try) using Winetricks with the command "winetricks irfanview", which will run the appropriate steps needed. (you may want to grab the latest development build at https://code.google.com/p/winetricks/source/checkout ). Once you've run this, it will create the desktop entries (if you have checked the options to do so), will put "IrfavView - Thumbnails" in the "Other" menu, but does not create the IrfanView submenu under the Wine menu, and does not create an entry for IrfanView anyplace in the menus.

Expected behavior is that it should create sub-menus under the Wine menu (as had happened under other desktop shells/environments), or add it directly to the Wine menu if the application in question would create it's icon as a top-level item.

Shouldn't COPYING.LIB be updated for LGPL-2.1-or-later ?

Expected behaviour

Cheese icon should be once in MATE menu (Applications - Sound and video)

Actual behaviour

Cheese icon is twice in MATE menu (Applications - Sound and video)

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Install Cheese.
In directory ~/.local/share/applications/, there are 2 menu configuration files : org.gnome.Cheese.desktop and cheese.destop. Perhaps one should be deleted but which ?

While mate-menu is open, Window list content cannot be selected. All windows that were attempted to maximise are inaccessible until an already maximised window is selected.

The french translation of the main MATE menus is bad.
The french word "Répertoires" and "Applications" means nothing for new users of PC.
"Applications" should be translated by "Logiciels" and "Places" should be translated by "Emplacements" or by "Dossiers" (Folders).

Hi,

I've just installed mate-menus and my task bar shows "System" and "Places" menus but despite "Application" menu being showed it is empty - there is no submenus (directories) in it.

With reference to the menu Mate, proposes to add a new item (3), in the setting panel.

I mean, about the integration of the panel and the menu in terms of theme, where after you select the appropriate position (Mate menu) will be their integration (synchronization):

kolor panel = kolor menu

transparency panel = transparency menu

W nawiązaniu do menu Mate, proponuje dodanie nowej pozycji (3) , w ustawieniu panelu.

Chodzi mi, o integracje panelu i menu w zakresie motywu, gdzie po zaznaczeniu odpowiedniej pozycji w ( Mate menu) nastąpi ich integracja (synchronizacja):

kolor panel = kolor menu

przezroczystość panelu = przezroczystość menu

• Please add a function to disable tooltips on the start menu

• Please add a function to disable file access history

Thank you and regards

I am not able to erase entries inside mate-menu via graphical menu.

How to Reproduce:

1. Right click on mate-menu button
2. Choose "Edit menu"
3. Right click on any entry and choose "Erase"

Normally the entry should erased now, but nothing happens.

I record a video to demo this issue: https://youtu.be/fMv1j1qUtGw
Environment:

Linux Mint 18
mintmenu: 5.7.2

did not actually add the menu file. Gives build error

make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'mate-preferences-categories.menu', needed by 'all-am'. Stop.

Copying the file in from an older mate-control-center source tarball fixes the build and the resulting package works

Trying to build the whole MATE desktop as a non-root user.

make works fine.
The make install fails.
As far as I can tell it tries to copy .gir files into the wrong directory.

errorlog.txt

Failure at this step means build of mate-panel fails later on.

A new level is added in the System - Preferences menu. It isn't convenient, it's more difficult now to find a software in these 3 levels. Please let the menu with only 2 levels, as it was before :

Expected behaviour

The applet for the mint-menu is added and works.

Expected behaviour

Mate Places Menu retains/maintains samba share bookmark icon.

Actual behaviour

Mate Places Menu changes samba share bookmark icon from "Folder with a RJ45 connector" (Network Icon) to a simple Folder.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Add samba share bookmark, while the share is mounted the bookmark in the Places Menu retains the Network Icon, after unmount the icon changes to a normal Folder. The bookmark in Caja always maintains the Network Icon.

In the menu System - Administration, some icons appears twice after upgrading from Linux Mint Mate 17.1 to 17.2.

I am using the last version of LibreOffice on Linux Mint 16 MATE edition and the graphical environment crashes when I change the colour of the selected text.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a new document
2. Select the style to the line (for example head style)(Sorry I am using libreoffice in spanish and I don't know how it is called in english, in spanish it is "formato, encabezado 1" It can be text format or something similar, see the screenshots to localize the menu I mean)
3. Write some words
4. Select those words and change their colour font (in my case, I changed to one of the dark blues)
5. Then the bottom bar of the OS disappears and I have to close libreoffice and change some windows to it appears again.

As you can see in the screenshots, the bar of the bottom disappeared in the last screenshot. I Have tried to show you how to reproduce the problem so I hope I can help.

You can see some screenshots on this webpage:
https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=73503

Thanks for your work.

How can I edit other items in the menu specifically items under Places or System.

Expected behaviour

Icons to appear in the MATE menu for non-English locales.

Actual behaviour

Category icons appear with a clashed circle.

The Icon field in some locales is incorrectly translated and included in the resulting .mo file in /usr/share/locale, for example:

I suggest the Icon field is excluded from POT/PO files (or stripped at build time) to avoid future erroneous translations. This might also be worthwhile automating into other MATE applications, which currently state:

#. Translators: Do NOT translate or transliterate this text

to avoid a similar issue where a few other MATE applications have missing icons.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

• Switch to a problematic locale, such as pt-br and pt.

I'm running mintMenu 5.5.0 and if i do a search in the menu and then click the favorites button, it clears the search field and resets the application tab to the all category, so i have to click the favorites button again to get to it.

Expected behaviour

The menu should be always visible, a new always on top window created on top of averything.

Actual behaviour

Can't see the menu while an "always on top" window cover it

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Set a windows as always on top and place it where the menu should appear, or simply maximize it, then try to open the menu

Expected behaviour

the horizontal position must be calculated on each monitor separately, so it must be aligned to left of button

Actual behaviour

the horizontal position calculates on total width of both monitors and it is aligned to right of button

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Then using dual monitor, and set a menu into left corner of right monitor, it poping up between two montiors

to temporary fix this, I made a changes to /usr/lib/mate-menu/mate-menu.py:
string 815
else:
# Align to the right of the entry
-newX = entryX - ourWidth
+newX = entryX

When I run Mate, I can from Desktop open for example or from task-bar Firefox and working,
when I open mate-menu I need about 2 seconds, and all mate stooped,
I can not for example in this 2 seconds minimalize Firefox window.

Is this possible improve mate-menu ?

• Lower status validity ( I want do something other in this 2 seconds :-) )
• Increase speed,
  I have almost new computer , 2 seconds load this is a lot,

Intel Core i5-3470 BOX
MSI Z77A-G43
Gigabyte GTX 660 WF2 = 2GB GDDR5 192-bit
2x 4GB Kingston HyperX 1600 MHz

If this is possible I suggest rebuild or build to new Mate-Menu,
or port other source code GNU GPL menu and add more options to debug.

mate-mint-menu 5.6.2
mate-menus 1.12.0
System: PCLinuxOS 64 bit.
Mate: 1.12.1

it seems to me that once (a long time ago) worked faster, but I might be wrong.

The mate-menus packages fail to build on Debian/Hurd. Patches are coming in a minute...
