Cinnamon

"Add to %s" for [desktop, panel, etc..] isn't translatable in some languages
open with dialog does not set as default anymore. went to set an mp3 to open with vlc/banshee/clementine, click ‘set as default’, and the highlighted list item focus just jumps back to Videos under the Default Application header.
play around with the fonts in cinnamon sooner or later (usually sooner) the desktop crashes.
play around with the slider for panel size using the cursor keys for up and down making it bigger or smaller then sooner or later, usually quite quickly the whole desktop freezes.

fonts: try fonts-noto
fonts: Would Linux Mint mind changing the default CJK font in the future release?like Adobe’s source han sans. As a Traditional Chinese user, the default font Linux Mint now using is pretty awkward, and even didn’t follow the hand writing rules and education standard. The fedora team changed their default font to Adobe”s source han sans and it’s great.
