Dear all,

Ubuntu 11.04 (unity) uses now the "global menu" to show the application menu. This means that the application menu is anchored to the desktop panel and not to the application window anymore. Problem is that the global menu shows the main menu of the active window. So if you are in the source editor, the global menu says "Source Editor" with no menu items. To get to File, Edit,... you have to click on the Lazarus IDE window first...

Luckily there is a workaround. Start lazarus with the command

UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= ./lazarus

or, from a batch file

export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=
./lazarus
