Many of these "bugs" from version 3.5.x and early 3.6.x has been fixed 
in the latest 3.6.5/3.6.6 [coming out next week]and 4.0.x that is the 
newest version/line.

I know that Ubuntu 12.04 installed 3.5.x by default, but you really 
should try the newer versions for the very fact that each version is 
meant to fix previous version's bugs as well as add productivity 
features.  I wish that Ubuntu would update their repository to the 
newest version of 3.6.x, but they have not.

Please try 3.6.5/.6 on your system [which needs to have 3.5.7 removed 
first] and you might really like the changes.  Or, you could give 4.0.2 
a try.

I run my main system [desktop] on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with MATE desktop 
environment.  The laptops use 12.10 and one will be used to test 13.04 
at the end of the month.  I am now running 4.0.2 on all my systems.
