[Bilal Shahid (s9iper1)]

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

I have this bug in trusty.

I also have this bug in ubuntu 14.04 where smileys are blank.

*They are blank on the global menu, not in conversations.

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

Could someone from the desktop team have a look at this?

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

Maybe the bug is in Unity?

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

Marco, could you, or anyone of your team, have a look at this?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Andrea Azzarone (azzar1)]

Pretty sure it's not a unity bug. Please install and use gnome-classic sessions and try to reproduce the bug.

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

There isn't a global menu in gnome-session-flashback. How can I enable a global menu there?

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

Andrea, you are right. I installed gnome-panel and indicator-applet-appmenu, and still, emoticons are not shown on the global menu in gnome-session-flashback.

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

So, this bug is not related to unity, but it has something to do with indicator-appmenu and indicator-applet-appmenu.
