Am testing on a lenovo w530. Bluetooth applet cant seem to pick any device. It will just display searching for devices and either provide an empty list or list devices i cannot setup. On 17.3 it worked like a charm

ASRock skylake gpe6F bug: /var/log/syslog and var/log/kern.log are flooded with hundreds of gpe6F errors per second until the root partition runs out of space. Its a known issue with ASRock skylake boards. The workaround is o add [code] echo “disable” > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe6F [/code] to rc.local. more info at https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=223180

Fatal resolution problem with all 16.04 derivatives https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/292402
[Fixed in git] panel: right-click -> paste applet configuration doesn't work
[Fixed in git] 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?
[Fixed in git] Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R video recording crashes and throws Cinnamon into fallback mode
[Fixed in git] 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.
[Fixed in git] nemo-preview does not close properly, press space to open it, press space to close it... you end up with an empty window.
[Fixed in git] 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.
[Fixed in git] choose Mint-Y-Dark for controls: all blue “more info” links in spices’ online lists can’t be read on the dark background
[Fixed in git] 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.
[Fixed in git] 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.
[Fixed in git] changing desktop font size segfaults nemo (seems to only happen after a reboot. After nemo is restarted, this can't be reproduced anymore.)
[Fixed in git] When moving the panel, or resizing the panel, the desktop icons sometimes disappear. (Solution is to start/restart Nemo.)
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.
