Comment 10 for bug 1160289

It is 08 April 2015 and I can confirm the bug still has not been eliminated. That's a bad for Google! I can report however that the workaround provided by madvinegar back in 2013(!) continues to function. I use a German version of Ubuntu 14.10. All my menues including those for Google Earth are in German. Fine with me. I hope Google gets around to solving this issue.

I seem to be having something similar happening on my Macbook Pro using OS Mavericks, but that issue is for another forum.
