Fresh install. Have not applied the updates yet.
Please, do it right now.
I see that gedit icon on the top bar once gedit is running. It has a down arrow right next to it. I assume that lets me switch between copies of gedit if more than one is open.
Why don't you try instead of assume? The down arrow is not for switching between different copies of the same application, but for a drop down menu. You should click on it to see its behavior by yourself, it is cheap!!
I DID try clicking on the arrow and nothing happened. Since I only had one gedit opened, I tried to figure it out. Now that you say this is what it does, I realized where I MAY be having troubles. I am in terminal, sued, and running gedit to edit the yum.conf.d files! So I opened terminal regular and ran gedit & and sure enough it works and I can set preferences no problem for ME and turn off word wrap.
But I cannot do it for root's use of gedit to edit config files. :(
You are right about this, because I opened /etc/yum.conf with gedit using sudo and I'm not able to open the drop down menu. Maybe this behavior is intentional, but I'm not sure.
So, I should give it a try and just put up with the wrapping. Afterall vi wraps, but actually does it smarter.
I can see why, as the top bar is running as ME and should NOT let ME set preferences for gedit as root. But that begs the question on HOW to change the preferences for root.
I tested and yes the AppMenu doesn't show for apps run as root.
As I posted before, you can force apps run under gnome-shell to show all their menus in their own windows and not rely on AppMenu by running this command as user in terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{'Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu': <0>}"
OK. I did not follow you before that this was a command to run. Just did not look close enough at what you wrote.
So I ran this in a terminal as root then ran gedit as the next command and AppMenu is not in gedit. It is still on the top bar, not usable. So I am still not following this.
(or by using dconf-editor).
I did try dconf-editor, but can't figure out where it is in the tree.
