Comment 4 for bug 1728890

Another wrinkle to add to this is that the behaviour is different depending on which desktop I log in with, and there are inter-dependencies with other extensions.

Having settled on the ubuntu (xorg) login, I had to disable Ubuntu Appindicators which was showing an error (and for other reasons enable Topicons +). With Ubuntu Appindicators enabled and KStatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator disabled, the menu does not appear on my 17.10 system.

Having got it running reliably the menu style has now downgraded to expand each top level menu in-line, rather than to one side as it used to. For large categories that means scrolling on an expanded list in between top level items, which is less than ideal. Is there any way to revert to the previous style? (classicmenu-indicator -m still shows the old and much better style).
