2016-10-17 02:50:04 Mike_IronFist description Selecting a selecting a console application from the menu such as htop should open that program within the system's default terminal (mate-terminal). Instead, it opens the program within xterm. Changing the default terminal, using update-alternatives or creating a new user with default settings does not remedy this; by default programs appear to be using xterm anyway. This can be tested on the live image/ISO and is easily reproducible. Simply install htop and open it from a panel menu; it will open in xterm. It will always occur with launchers that are loaded from the desktop or file browser, the default 'Menu Bar' panel applet and the 'Main Menu' applet. The bug does not occur with the 'MATE Menu'/Advanced MATE Menu applet, which opens terminal applications in the user's preferred terminal as normal. This bug appears to be new to ubuntu mate 16.10. It does not occur on 16.04. Selecting a selecting a console application from the menu such as htop should open that program within the system's default terminal (mate-terminal).
