Bug Description

ubuntu 16.04 alpha:
gedit 3.18 now has its toolbar placed in the window titlebar. because of that the window buttons are placed on the right again.

this is inconsistent to all other windows (i just realized it because i moved the curser to the left upper edge to close gedit and didnt find the windowbuttons)

(or said differently it works for other people so you probably have a local config or such changing it over)

Ok, with thanks to lotuspsychje who did some testing it seems the issue is triggered with switching of the "show the menu for one window" setting in systemsettings->appearance -> theme behaviour.

switching it one time triggers "something" that makes the windowsbuttons go to the right side no matter what setting is used afterwards.

on a clean install, it is all fine. then one time switching this setting makes them go to the right forever. even on ambiance theme.

hum, what option is that exactly? the appearance screen has no "theme behaviour" section?

The topic was discussed on IRC, the option is the one to enable local menus in unity ... unity-settings-daemon is handling that setting so it could be an issue with it but the bug didn't show after restarting the service, still needs to be investigated...

@ Sebastien #4

the buttons in gedit are left by default in the guest account, and it cant be reproduced to the right
tested on all themes and clean install daily image
