I installed Texmaker 4.2 (Qt5) on my Ubuntu 14.04 (Gnome 3). The installation went smooth but I don't have a menu bar and therefore I can not configure the Texmaker. My program looks like this screenshot

Since my program looks like this:

the screenshot from the developer I assume there is no bug. Can someone please tell me how I am able to access the menu bar and configure the program. Is this a Gnome shell issue?

  • Have you tried to hover your mouse on "Texmaker" in the panel? In the bright new world of global menus, it should be appear just over there. I do have a menu in my intallation. – Rmano Jun 30 '14 at 20:37
  • I did and the result can be seen in the second screenshot in my post. I do only have the option to quit the program. Or am I doing something wrong? – user299214 Jul 01 '14 at 07:45
  • The menu in the panel should be there in Unity. In Gnome Shell the menu should be in the window; but sometime the installations with both gnome shell and unity can become highly confused.

    I see. I tried to blacklist texmaker from using the global menu following this manual (http://www.webupd8.org/2013/11/unity-global-menu-can-now-be-disabled.html) but it does not work. I don't want to disable the global menu for all applications. I might need to create a post about the blacklisting not working. Thank you for your help. – user299214 Jul 02 '14 at 07:42
  • I have both Unity and Gnome shell installed and use gnome shell. I did not have this issue with Texmaker 4.3 (QT5): http://imgur.com/X3o9LNf – muru Sep 20 '14 at 10:01
  • Using the 4.4.1 version of Texmaker build with QT4 does fix the issue. – user299214 Dec 04 '14 at 08:39

I had exactly the same problem, and solved it by maximizing the Texmaker window before rolling mouse on the program header. Also it works if you place mouse over the panel on the very top of the screen even without maximizing (not the panel with the close-minimize-maximize buttons). Hope it could also help you!

[Update]: screenshot can be found here:

Red arrow shows where you likely tried to put cursor on, and green arrow shows position where it should be put - at least how it worked for me.

  • I am not really sure what you mean. Could you please add a screen shot. – user299214 Jul 18 '14 at 12:36
  • I have added a link to the screenshot to my answer, hope it helps – udavdasha Jul 25 '14 at 00:23
  • Thank you for posting your screen shot. You seem to use Unity and I am using the gnome shell. Since I think my problem is related to not using Unity I don't think that the behaviour you are experiencing with Texmaker is not replicable on my system. – user299214 Jul 28 '14 at 11:49
