Avidemux 2.6.8

Hello!

The issue you ran into makes a good case to go elsewhere besides the repositories (i.e. PPA) to get the newest updates.

I guess the repositories don't want to have to deal with the whole 'bleeding edge' issue, where something works until it's updated, then requires more action to 'fix' the updates...

I cannot resize the Window  to view the the Menu Bar and the Video controls together . At present I use "Alt" +"Left Click" + "Touchpad" to move the window to the part I need to set a clip and execute it .

BUT The following seems to imply on Ubuntu 14.04, which is what LL2 is based on,
That you need to change a Config/List file.
I don't know enough on what the implications are then for LL2.?

Avidemux on Ubuntu 14.04, Variation.?
