Re: [Bug 1402667] [NEW] "add title" function really hard to find

 

Ubuntu is a special case i.e menu is hidden and that's not all LInux
distribution. In more, like we will come on Window and on OS X. ...
I don't tag it like invalid because the idea of having an icon toolbar is a
good idea.
Thanks.
