Description

- The name of the last "showed toolbar" inside Preferences menu does not appear, only the mark enabled. The first 2 of them: Navigation toolbar and URL Toolbar are ok. So, I want to disable this toolbar and uncheck it and the bookmarks go away, but when I put the full screen and then go to the normal size, the bookmarks appear again and again the mark checked.
- Not all the menus in View that are commented in your website appear: "zoom buttons", "View source", and "View rendered website in new tab", but they can be used in a different way.
- This option does not appear in Bookmarks: "View Bookmarks Toolbar", it appears in Preferencees, as I said in my first answer, with no name and the toolbar always checked.

I'm using Linux with Mint Mate.

Please file a separate bug report for each issue. It makes tracking when they are fixed easier. I will deal with the missing items in the View and Bookmarks menus with this bug report. The system toolbar context menu missing entry is probably something separate.

I am curious if there are some missing entries from your system `ui_standards.rc` file (see attached). On Debian, this file is located in `/etc/xdg/ui`, but it might be in a different place on Mint. Can you post a copy of the file your system has?

I should note that I have tested Privacy Browser PC on Debian testing running MATE as the desktop environment, so whatever the problems are, they aren't a general incompatibility with MATE.

Yes, the file is in /etc/xdg/ui
Attached

So, must I replace it with yours?

Well, I'm not used to do these things. Please, do it yourself. I'll read what you'll post.
I replaced your file deleting mine in the same route and nothing changed in the browser when I closed it and opened it again.
Thanks

Yours is a slightly older version (21 vs. 22) as seen on line 2 of the file. However, all the important entries for creating these two menus are already in version 21, so this isn't the problem.

In the screenshot you sent me on Mastodon it showed the menus in Spanish. If you switch your system language to English does the problem persist?

I'm trying to figure out something about your system that is different than all the systems I have tested on. So far, nothing has seemed significant.

This is what is so fascinating to me: in the screenshot you sent me (attached), the Refresh (Refrescar) menu item is populated, but the Zoom In and Zoom Out entries above it are not. This seems significant to me because all three are both populated by KStandardAction as seen on lines 75-77 of the following file:

https://gitweb.stoutner.com/?p=PrivacyBrowserPC.git;a=blob;f=src/windows/BrowserWindow.cpp;h=8f8a0b0d78bfaec352cf3b2a44d2fbf9b0de3cbb;hb=a385ca128cb7bcc34ab5467edf21eb5e5664471a

On Debian, KStandardAction is shipped as part of the libkf5configwidgets5 package. I currently have version 5.107.0-2 installed.

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libkf5configwidgets5

Linux Mint might name these packages differently. You are looking for whatever installs the following file:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF5ConfigWidgets.so.5

Do you know which version of this file you have installed on your system?

I suppose it's this:
libKF5ConfigWidgets.so.5: symbolic link to libKF5ConfigWidgets.so.5.92.0

Version 92 is a little more than a year old. That might be enough to cause a problem.

I'm guessing you are using a version based on Ubuntu Jammy.

Do you have an easy way of installing newer packages on Mint without disrupting your system?

I don't know how.
But don't worry about it. As I said before I'm ok now using it in a differebt way.

OK. My guess is that these problems resolve themselves with the next major release of Mint. I'm going to leave this bug report open and you can let us know if that fixes it.

You're right. I just tested it with the new Linux ElementaryOS from a live usb and it works all ok.

Thanks for the followup information.

Eventually, Mint will ship with a version of Privacy Browser.

https://repology.org/project/privacybrowser/packages

When a LTS version of Ubuntu ships with Privacy Browser, it should get rolled into the next Mint release. That version should work well with Mint, although newer versions might have problems until a subsequent Mint release.
