Mint-Y Icon theme doesn’t show document contents. Mint-X icon variants can show the content of a text file without any problems, but this is not the case with Mint-Y. If Mint-Y will never support such a feature, I would suggest using an icon that indicates a text file, rather than the blank placeholder icon.
Mint-Y: I dislike these borderless windows. When I snap applications next to each other on the screen, the content just seems to run into eachother and almost looks cut off. I know it’s not actually being cut off, but without even a thin border it gives off that impression.
In /boot, Memtest86+ version is 4.20 but the last version of Memtest86+ is 5.10.

Touch screen clicks are not working in the icon and compact view section of Nemo, everywhere else seems fine.
Context menu “Open with>other application…” displays duplicate applications.
I can disable mobile broadband using the switch in network preferences but it does have any effect. Next time I open up network preferences it is enabled again. I guess this could be a upstream problem though.

When connecting with PEAP authentication, the network manager applet just gets stuck instead of prompting for credentials.
cinnamon panel unresponsive when using nvidia 304 drivers?
nemo-preview does not close properly, press space to open it, press space to close it... you end up with an empty window.
choose Mint-Y-Dark for controls: all blue “more info” links in spices’ online lists can’t be read on the dark background
switch user with mdmflexiserver, log back in -> mouse cursor doesn't show up (comes back after a while if you type on keyboard)
virtual keyboard: I used to click on the applet “on-screen-keyboard” and it came in focus (and only then). For this to work I have to enable it in the accessibility settings. With Cinnamon 3.0.x, this woks too, but the keyboard is popping up every each and then (click on menu etc.) and not only if I use the applet. Could this be adjusted?
When moving the panel, or resizing the panel, the desktop icons sometimes disappear. (Solution is to start/restart Nemo.)
cinnamon: place two panels (bottom and top), add application menu applet to top panel, left zone. when menu is open, hover the applet icon.. it makes the applet flicker.
in the new ubuntu 16.04, touchegg works with 3 finger gestures, if I put synclient disable ClickFinger3 & TapButton3, however, in linux mint it’s not recognizing it..! any plans to fix this?
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R video recording crashes and throws Cinnamon into fallback mode
When scrolling down in the Menu smoothly, icons/items leave some “traces” behind, if you can call it that
“Automatically connect to VPN when using this connection” option for a WiFi network connection is failing upon startup. It then connects to the wifi without the VPN.
connected to vpn (cisco to be exact), it doesn’t display network icon with lock when connected in the system tray compared to previous version.
I downloaded an icon set, just to try it tout, from http://linuxmint-art.org/content/show.php/My+Mint+Elementary?content=169859 I put the extracted folder in /usr/share/icons Went back to Preferences/Theme to find that most choices of icons were gone ! I deleted the elementary-icons folder. Went back to preferences/theme/icons and the choices were all back.
Why did you change from Noto Sans to Noto Sans Regular? Letters now look short and stretched. They are much more elegant on 17.3.
Bluetooth panel icon was nicer when it was monochromatic.
Update shield became so small.
network applet: the list of available wlans contains my own wlan and another one of the same name with “auto” in front that has a black block where the connection strenght should appear.
The notifications (e.g. when connecting to a wlan 😉 ) don’t look very nice for me, almost as if font hinting is disabled for them.
Notifications always appear in the panel even though they are disabled.
Removed Skype via Software manager but the program still showing up in the Menu. Tried to uninstall it via the Menu but same results. Restarted the system and terminal is no longer works. Skype is still in the Menu but marked as “Install” in Software Manager.
text in logout countdown isn't easily readable ... could be similar to Spices configuration module, when install 3rd party spices. Is it a missing style in Mint-X? To define the color of text in progress bars?
After I resume from suspend NetworkManager seems to work fine, Wifi connection is maintained, but nm-applet shows Wi-Fi Networks and other things grayed out. Running ‘pkill nm-applet’ and then ‘nm-applet’ fixes this.
Can't join WPA network (password not being passed), 3 people have this problem
after updates nm-applet shows ethernet icon instead of wifi for connections?
nm connecting via WPA doesn't connect (no password passed).. using network connections to save the password -> works. Tested with MATE edition on a Lenovo Yoga 500.
Another NetworkManager bug. Just tried to run the mint 18 MATE live on an old pc in my home and it wouldn’t recognize my Wi-Fi at all. It just looked as if I didn’t have Wi-Fi. Killing and restarting nm-applet didn’t help in this case, so the bug must be deeper. Sadly, this is a bug I’ve read about in Ubuntu MATE 16.04 so again, this might be a bug from upstream. For comparison, I had no problem of this sort when running mint cinnamon 18 live on this pc, and it is running mint Xfce (first 17.2, upgraded to 17.3) for a while and never had this problem.
mintmenu:
[Fixed in Git] use custom color should be disabled by default (it makes mintmenu look really bad with mint-y-dark)
transparent only one after reboot (first click on menu). Next click menu show not transparent
weird org.mate.panel.applet.MintMenuAppletFactory in syslog when running synaptic
when changing the appearance to Mint-Y-Dark the background in caja doesn’t change! you have to go to “Edit” -> “Backgrounds and Emblems” and reset it once manually. now it changes every time with the theme. (check gsettings set org.mate.caja.preferences background-set false)
Can you somehow disable the audio file sound preview when you point your mouse pointer on it? It just often crashes the whole Caja file manager and the audio sometimes keeps playing even if I point mouse away from it (so i have to kill the proccess in proccess manager).
In the ‘Control Center’, when using ‘Mint-Y-Dark’ theme, and then pressing an item in the ‘Groups’ menu (such as ‘Hardware’), it paints the group-block in a very light-green color, so the white text is not readable.
“connection established..” message always on front. no way to close
set as wallpaper doesn't work in pix and xviewer
in xview several extensions does not work:
-) “Date in statusbar” doesn’t work.
-) “Disable Dark Theme” doesn’t work, if i’m right when i assume it should do “gsettings set org.x.viewer.view use-background-color false”?
-) “Hide Titlebar” not sure what it should do…?
-) “Export to Folder”, “Fullscreen Background”, “Python Console” and “Slideshow Shuffle” can’t be activated. in the moment they get grayed out and a tool-tip says “The plugin ‘XXX’ could not be loaded – An error occurred: Plugin loader ‘python3’ was not found”
in xview after a fullscreen-view the sidebar is gone and must be enabled manually again.
–> by the way: please make the position (left/right, top/bottom won’t make much sense) of the sidebar configurable (like the gallery) at least via dconf!
in xed with the classic and default (tango) color-scheme there is nearly no differentiation (color or border) between the text and the line-numbers; and at the latest working on a file with numbers at the beginning of the lines this is a disaster.
Qt 5 apps in this beta. They use the Fusion theme by default rather than the GTK+ one, making them inconsistent with the rest of the desktop. Can this be changed? I managed to fix the problem using the qt5ct tool
my initial Firefox install (Linux Mint Sarah’s version always) didn’t have any search engine installed and that made the browser a little buggy (when I tried to type something in the address tab or when I opened the search tab of the preferences and when I was just trying to open a link in another tab), until I installed one search engine from the firefox addons site.. Then everything was ok and I was able to add other engines from the correspondent Linux Mint page
Check your own MATE screenshot. The new MintMenu theme is supposed to have rounded corners, but the transparency is broken, leaving hideous white triangles where there ought to be transparency. This issue never came up in Mint 17.3 because the MintMenu was squared off. Mint 18 needs to either give up the idea of rounded corners on the Main menu slab, or fix the intended transparency.
caja: I can’t find hidden files in Caja file manager.
caja: I noticed that search result doesn’t appear till the end of search, this may take some time. it would be nice to improve search behavior like the search in nautilus so that the search results in the current folder appears instantly.
