Cinnamon Edition
----------------
cinnamon-settings: datetime module doesn't fit in window
cinnamon: only 1 msgid for "Lock Screen" (action vs noun)
cinnamon-settings: lockscreen - make the “Show this message when the screen is locked” input box larger and on its own row below.
cinnamon-settings: can't set hours in datetime module
cinnamon-settings: desklets - left-align the note underneath “Decoration of desklets”
In keyboard settings -> User defined keyboard shortcuts, three phrases are shown when hovering above the keyboard binding. The first is translated, but “Press Escape or click again to cancel the operation” and “Press Backspace to clear the existing keybinding” are not translated though they have been translated in Launchpad (Danish).
chromium: After watching a full screen video (for example on Youtube) the panels are disappearing (the browser window hides them).
If Open menu when mouse hovers is selected, right-clicking the menu and moving the mouse upwards to select Configure often leads to the menu opening and the right-click menu disappears before it can be clicked. Doing it a couple of times in succession finally allows one to clicking Configure – it varies how may times I have to try before I succeed.
Breadcrumbs in Nemo do not display correctly with Adwaita theme or High Contrast theme.

there is lag in the package manager when you make changes to the list its slow to update the list on screen its like visual tearing this happens in any Distro that uses the Synaptic Package Manager 0.81.1 the older 0.75 builds in fine can we go back to the older version
The FFmpeg plugin for GStreamer 0.10 is not in the repository and it affects Firefox H.264 playback and other applications you can see http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu.html for the PPA to install the package gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg all so included in that PPA is a much newer VLC version as well which is a extra bonus it is VLC 2.1.5
in Evolution. I think it’s down to the Mint-X theme. The email headers are all black, and most of it is barely readable. They display okay though with other themes though.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/freetype/+bug/1310017 is a bug for Korean users, fixed but not yet released for Ubuntu 14.04. sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:jincreator/freetype && sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y libfreetype6
gksu: All items in Administration section (in System Settings) are showing the same sort of freeze. It takes about 1 min for password screen to show up. During that time, I can’t use anything else on desktop. It is completely unresponsive. When I enter my password at the end, everything is working normal again.
Software Manager. I’ve tried installing Wine metapackage, Chromium and the Pepper flash plugin for Chromium. Downloading goes correctly. But installation of the programs hangs at 99% and does not finish in the Software Manager. Wine did install succesfully while the Software Manager kept hanging.
Modem manager: is evil and often delays shutdown – should it be disabled by default?
MintStick (USB Image Writer): the file open dialog uses different icons to the rest of Cinnamon environment – it looks like Gnome/Nautilus..

Nemo conflicts with fcitx, the best chinese input method. I can’t rename anything in Nemo with fcitx.
the zoom doesn’t zoom IN on a reboot after you activate it. however, if you first zoom OUT, all works as advertised after that.
Cinnamon isn’t scaling user defined panel sizes properly. If I select Numix as my theme and set a customised panel size, when clicking Allow Cinnamon to Scale Panel Text and Icons, the text on the right side of the panel bar seems to go a bit blurry. This didn’t happen on the last release. The update shield sometimes goes wonky too which I assume is related.

illustration: I tried to install Japanese as extra language. I could install Japanese, but the option to select an input manager like Ibus is gone. When I installed IBUS, ibus-Anthy and Japanese Takao fonts like takao mincho, takako gothic, I still could not select the input method from Ibus itself. On mint 13 no problem, here I am a little lost.

chromium and muffin hate each others..
I tried installing Qiana RC Cinnamon from a USB drive using the “Erase everything” partitioning option. It erased everything all right: including the USB drive it was installing from
The installer (LM16 RC 64bit) seems to be failing during this kind of install: Manual, / onto sdd, Mounting /home (LUKS encrypted) from hdd. It just sits there without any cpu usage or anything after putting in the username and password page. Didn’t touch the existing install at all. Did the exact same thing with the 16 64bit previously which worked flawlessly.
LUKS password steps precedes keyboard layout selection.. leading to the user blindly inputting a password that doesn't correspond to what he thinks he's typing.
If i watch a youtube video in full screen mode and come back to normal mode then my chrome is hiding the bottom panel/taskbar. This is not happening with firefox.
Cairo Dock doesn’t select the openGL backend when adding to startup, even if you tell it to remember your choice when it asks. I had to manually go into Startup Applications and edit the command with cairo-dock -o for it to work
After each restart of the system Chromium can’t play Flash and I have to reinstall the plugin.
guvcview doesn’t record video. It just records weird stop motion kind of stuff.

mate: mate-calc 1.8.0, mode advanced, not calculation correct. Example (1×10^-1)/(1×10^-2)= 10. This calculate correct. Bud 1×10^-1 / 1×10^-2 = 0.001 this is not correct, because 1×10^-1 is one number on science notation ( 1 plus function x10^y plus -1 )
mate: Power Management Preferences Tabs – I think the ‘General’ tab should be the first tab, rather than the third.
mate: ‘Copy To’ Removable Drive – I plugged in my usb drive and it would be great to be able to right-click on a file and find the removable drive in the ‘copy to’ sub menu
