gedit in LXDE: black bar - gedit

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with LXDE desktop environment.
When I use the normal Ubuntu desktop, everything is normal. When I'm using LXDE however, the bar with all opened files is black. You can see what I mean here:

I think I have found a solution that works. I changed the LXDE theme to Radiance using lxappearance. Gedit has no black bars now.

The problem seems to be related to the LXDE themes not being GTK 3 compatible. There is some advice which will work around the problem and relevant links to more details here:
http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=7127

Since this didn't have good answers here and I was having the same problem in XFCE. I asked a very similar question on AskUbuntu
The fix is as simple as choosing a different theme from the xfce4-appearance-settings dialog available from the main menu under "Settings" -> "Appearance". In LXDE the way to change themes is with the lxappearance command as codefx states in his answer.
The "Raleigh" and "Industrial" themes have this problem. Many others such as "Greybird", "Orion", and "Radiance" do not.
Here is the problem fixed running with the "Orion" theme:

PhpStorm IDE: Cursor gets stuck in text-select (highlight) mode in Ubuntu 18 LTS

I am using PhpStorm for working on Laravel projects. However, the mouse gets stuck in text highlight mode and right click does not work on the IDE.
Closing the IDE and restarting does not help solve the issue. I have tried to look for an answer online without success.
For those struggling like me, I got a workaround.
I went to my Ubuntu OS "Settings"
"Mouse & Settings" option
Then "Mouse and TouchPad"
Disabled the touchpad by toggling the "ON/OFF" switch
Re-enabled the touchpad again by toggling the same "ON/OFF" switch
When I went back to my IDE, behold, it works. My trackpad is no longer stuck in highlight mode.
Disclaimer: I have a touch-sensitive screen and that's how I was able to re-enable the touchpad again. I don't know how one would do this without another input source.
This was a big help for me, thanks!
Just to be clear, enabling/disabling the touchpad is in Ubuntu settings, not in PHPStorm settings.

Main menu placement in Intellij IDEA

When I am using Intellj IDEA in Linux (with Gnome) I can't seem to find an option to move the main menu from the top of the screen inside the window that it belongs to; this is similar to the appearance that is present in the equivalent Windows version. Anyone has any idea on how to do that? Or is it not supported?
EDIT:
Seeing is everything so...
Ubuntu version:
Windows version:
Hopefully that will give you an idea of what I am trying to achieve.
What you are seeing is Global Menu Integration for Swing applications.
You can get normal menus be uninstalling it:
sudo apt-get --purge remove jayatana libjayatana libjayatanaag libjayatana-java libjayatanaag-java

MonoDoc: Installing and adding http://iosapi.xamarin.com/

I noticed on a recent video from Miguel that he was accessing MonoDoc with the contents of http://iosapi.xamarin.com
Is there an install location for MonoDoc (there doesn't seem to be one at http://www.mono-project.com/Documentation that works) that allows us to add http://iosapi.xamarin.com/ to MonoDoc?
Pressing help in MonoDevelop does not seem to open anything.
I have submitted a bug fix request to Xamarin and will update this when it is completed.
As per this SO answer, I had to run /Applications/MonoDevelop.app/Contents/MacOS/MonoDoc.app/Contents/MacOS/macdoc in Terminal in order for the Help menu item to start working in MonoDevelop.
MonoTouch installs the documentation for MonoDoc to use. You do not need to do anything, except hit Help from MonoDevelop

How to repair bazaar popup menu icons?

I recently upgraded bazaar from 2.5.x beta to official 2.5.0, but now the icons of the TortoizeBzr popup menu are not visible.
I tried to :
uninstall / reinstall v2.5.0
uninstall, reinstall a old version (v2.5.x beta)
pray for my icons back !
... but nothing work here.
Does anyone have an idea to fix these icons ?
note1: The same installation on another PC (same OS) do not have this issue.
note2: I'm using tortoizeBzr on WinXP-SP3
I'm not really sure what's going on here either, but this sounds like a bug to me. You might want to just file a bug against tortoisebzr in Launchpad.

gedit broken shortcut keys, has mod2

I have been trying to play around with gedit and came across the "shortcut editor" plugin. But somehow, it messed up my key bindings. It no longer works. Everytime I try to setup a new shortcut, I get a "Mod2" addition to the bind.
How do I reset to the default key bindings? How do I remove Mod2?
Thanks,
Wenbert
EDIT:
Google does not seem to return any relevant results regarding this issue.
I had the same problem but I solved it by toggling off the numlock
I'm going to answer my question. I have solved it after hours of trial and error.
I was connecting to my Linux machine running gedit using Synergy. So I jsut transfered the keyboard to the USB port running the linux machine and then reconfigured the Shortcut Editor Plugin for gedit.
The shortcuts are now properly set by the plugin.
