Latest Release 1.50 Places Unity Panel Indicator on Left Side of Screen in Ubuntu 14.04 #543

Closed stratigos closed 7 years ago

stratigos commented 7 years ago

ScudCloud Version

ScudCloud 1.50 Python 3.4.3 Qt 5.2.1 PyQt 5.2.1 SIP 4.15.5

Distro and Desktop info

Expected behavior

Unity Panel Icon is placed right-justified, next to all the other panel icons. It doesnt cover application text or menus, and isnt placed left-justified. Panel icon also appears on redundant unity panels (i.e., 2nd monitor).

Actual behavior

Icon appears in left-most place in the Unity panel. It covers application names / text / and some dropdown menus. Also panel icon only appears once, and is missing from my 2nd unity panel (I have one on both of two monitors).

I actually cant close some applications with the mouse, and not all applications have a "Ctrl+W/Q" command. I either have to open terminal and kill an app's process, or shift it to another workspace which doesnt have the panel icon and close it there.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Update to 1.50 on 03.29.2017
  2. Launch scudcloud
  3. Observe panel with scudcloud icon floated to the left

Thank you @stratigos for opening this issue.

Are you using Close to Tray?

Can you, please, attach a screenshot?

stratigos commented 7 years ago

@raelgc Thanks for the response, and thanks for Scudcloud as well :)

I use Scudcloud every day, on two different machines, and am very appreciative of your work bringing this client to the Linux environment. I only noticed this problem immediately after updating this morning, it was not exhibiting this behavior yesterday or anytime before.

Are you using Close to Tray?

I am not sure where to find the preference/feature for "Close to Tray". In my ~/.config/scudcloud/scudcloud.cfg file I do have: Systray=True. I noticed in the readme there is the File > Close to Tray option listed, but I dont seem to have any such "File" dropdown menu (or any other Scudcloud specific menus - Ive only ever used the config file). Any options that are given by the Unity Panel indicator/icon pertain to Slack specific settings.

Can you, please, attach a screenshot?

The above is both of my monitors, with my redundant Unity panel and launcher. Note the Scudcloud panel indicator in the farthest topleft position - its usually just to the left of my dropbox panel indicator. Also note it is not on both screens, it only appears on the left screen.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance, thanks.

Thank you for the feedback, @stratigos!

Yes, you're using Close to Tray enabled. Just to share: you can activate Close to Tray, just opening the standard app menu and select File > Close to Tray.

I found this is a Qt bug (several opened issues in Qt side for it), and appears to be fixed in Qt 5.5 (i.e., do not affects Xenial)..

The fix on 14.04 appears to be create a notification entry, similar to viber-wrapper indicator

@raelgc Ok thanks, I could either experiment with that, or upgrade my system. Was hoping I could hold out until 18.04 is released but Ill treat this as the first sign that an upgrade is imminent. This can be closed. Thanks!

FWIW there is no app menu on my 14.04 desktop for scudcloud, none appears. I can check on my 16.04 machine sometime later.
