title bar fade pointless on large monitors

This would need design discussion. Should we dynamically calculate the distance of the appmenu from bfb? Or should we use the static distance?

I agree with this. I have a whole 1400px between the window title and the indicators. Plenty of room for any toolbar, especially true since the system tray has been banned.

Could you make a screenshot of this?

sure, but it's not exactly hard to reproduce

I'm not reproducing this appearance on Precise. The menu replaces the title rather than fade it out.

I also checked that really long titles aren't faded out too short (see attached image).

I think this can be closed as fixed. If I'm mistaken and this can still be reproduced on Precise, please reopen and clarify how to reproduce it.

I can still reproduce this on Precise, at least in unity-2d.

I don't think this is fixed.

The bug description says:
"It seems needlessly cramped to truncate the window title to put the menus on top of it"

Which contradicts the solution that Bryce describes:
"The menu replaces the title"

I believe Martin meant that the menus should appear to the right of the title. And only truncate the title if there is not room for both side-by-side.

Can we re-open this bug?

@vanvugh the 'incomplete' is the quirky unity way of saying they can't
fix the code until they get a design decision...
