Version:	6.*	OS:	Ubuntu (Unity desktop)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	ubuntu_menuproxy; Mac style single menu

Description:
When I run mysql-workbench with the mac style menu, menu are duplicated.

How to repeat:
*Start mysql-workbench :
$] export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=1
$] mysql-workbench

A this point all is rigth

*Open a connection :

Now a new tab appear, and some menu are double

* Create or Open a Model :

A new tab appear, and some menu are threefold

* Create or Open a second Model :

A new tab appear, and some menu are fourfold

----

* Close a Model :

The tab disappear, and duplicate menu are deleted

* Close a Model :

The tab disappear, and duplicate menu are deleted

* Close the connexion :

The tab disappear, and duplicate menu are deleted

The menu returns to consistent behavior.

Suggested fix:
I think there is a bug in the update menu.

I have looked if the bug has already been reported...
And he was:
https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=75442
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=75866
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=75659
(This was on google than I finally found duplicates)

The patch which fixes the use of the global menu: UBUNTU_MENUPROXY

Attachment: menuproxy.patch (text/x-patch), 1.39 KiB.

In reality, there are several menubar in the GUI. This is why the menus are duplicated.

To fix this bug on Ubuntu I hide the menubars that are not visible.

It would be preferable to retain UBUNTU_MENUPROXY to the user value
So remove "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0" in frontend/linux/workbench/mysql-workbench.in
Or edit bin/mysql-workbench after the installation

NB: It may still remain bugs because I did not satisfy all dependencies at compilation.
It would be preferable to create a method like getMenubar() in each page of notebook.

Hello Louis de Gaulle,

Thank you for the report and feedback.
Since all the related bugs are fixed, hence wanted to confirm if you are still experiencing this issue with the latest WB build. Please let us know.

Thanks,
