In the new version of Synaptic, the Properties and Search buttons are aligned on the right.

How can I move the Search and Properties buttons to the left hand side?

I tried to replace the file /usr/share/synaptic/gtkbuilder/window_main.ui but it didn't work.

These distros all exhibit the same problem:

ISO Synaptic version
ubuntu-mate-21.04-desktop-amd64.iso 0.90.2
debian-live-testing-amd64-mate+nonfree.iso 0.90.2
ubuntu-mate-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso 0.84.6
linuxmint-20.1-mate-64bit.iso 0.84.6

Synaptic on Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS

No problem:

  • Linux Mint 19.3 MATE and Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS with Synaptic 0.84.3

    Synaptic on Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS

  • You have to report your finding as bug-report. – N0rbert Jul 24 '21 at 07:18
  • I was sending 2 emails to the developer (Michael Vogt). He didn't answer. I don't have a github account. I don't know how to submit a bug report to github. – Alexander_K Jul 24 '21 at 09:08
  • It's very easy to submit a bug report on Github: Create a Github account, click on the Issues tab of the repository and click the big green New Issue button. – Greenonline Aug 01 '21 at 05:02

If you are asking this as bug-report then it is off-topic here.

If you are asking for the local solution which you are ready to apply by yourself, then you have to install special application named GTK+ User Interface Builder (glade) by

sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install glade

and then edit needed /usr/share/synaptic/gtkbuilder/window_main.ui file in it to have your locally patched Synaptic.
