1521310 - Titlebar window control placement on left despite Ubuntu 18.10 setting specifying the right

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Kestrel]

Attachment: reversed-placement.png

Ubuntu 18.10 Tweaks app indicates titlebar window controls placement is "Right" but actual placement is on left.

Workaround is to create about:config integer setting ui.GtkCSDReversedPlacement = 0 and restart.

Hm, I'm unable to reproduce on clean Ubuntu 18.10 installation, the buttons are on correct side and changes according the Tweaks app. Perhaps I miss something.

This is caused by appmenu in the button-layout which is added by Tweaks -> Top Bar -> Application Menu -> OFF which persists even after turning it back ON.

org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout
Default: ':minimize,maximize,close'
Breaks placement: 'appmenu:minimize,maximize,close'
Also breaks placement: ':appmenu,minimize,maximize,close'

Use only ':' separator instead of 'menu:' to place titlebar buttons as the menu may not be always present.
