Bug Description

Observed in Audacity r13166 in Ubuntu 14.04 using Unity with Ambience or Radiance theme. Only the shortcuts for Edit > Undo and Redo are visible in the menus. I do not experience inactive menus mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacity/+bug/1312625 .

Initialising audacity.cfg does not help.

The shortcuts appear in the menus when using Gnome flashback ( http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/04/ubuntu-14-04-classic-gnome-flashback-session ).

I can confirm this behavior with Audacity from the archive (2.0.5-1ubuntu3) and with the latest SVN build.

Is this an Audacity or an Ubuntu bug?

A workaround has been committed at https://code.google.com/p/audacity/source/detail?r=13894 so that src/audacity.desktop.in is set to UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0. Audacity compiled from source will thus show shortcuts in the menus and will have its own menu bar in the application. It will remain up to Ubuntu whether they use this desktop file in packaged versions of Audacity.
