I’m trying a live boot of the newly released Ubuntu Budgie 26.04 prior to upgrading my current install. I noticed that a visible Raven menu doesn’t collapse/hide when other windows are clicked or given focus. It only hides after clicking the desktop area which requires full screen apps to be minimised to reach. Secondary, with the out of box desktop layout (menu at top), the raven toolbar button is covered by the raven menu when displayed and can’t be used to hide the menu.
“Panel > Visibility > Intelligent Auto Hide” option in Crystal Dock should resolve this annoyance.
You’re likely to come across a few others as well, but this will help you get to grips with this new version of UB – the raccoon isn’t exactly an easy creature to handle.
