I can confirm this in 12.04.

[JP Vossen (jp-jpsdomain)]

I can confirm this in 12.04 also. The "export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0" hack worked for me. And see also Bug #1002267.

You'd think you could do something like "Exec=LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 tuxcmd" but that won't work for me. There's probably way to wrap it in a tiny shell script... Yup, that worked...

* sudo vi /usr/local/bin/tuxcmd_wrapper
     #!/bin/sh -
     LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 tuxcmd
* sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/tuxcmd_wrapper
* sudo vi /usr/share/applications/tuxcmd.desktop
* Change the line to be: Exec=/usr/local/bin/tuxcmd_wrapper
* Actually go run: LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 tuxcmd
* Right-click on icon and "Lock to Launcher"

The modified launcher should now work.

This bug is still present in 13.04

[Adam Niedling (krychek)]

This is still an issue in Ubuntu 13.10.

[Adam Niedling (krychek)]

It's working for me in 18.04.
