Jayatana for Android Studio on 17.04 not working

Question

Jayatana worked fine for me on Ubuntu 16.10, but after upgrading to 17.04 the menu of Android Studio doesn't merge with the Ubuntu title bar Anymore.

When starting Android Studio via terminal there are also no messages about jayatana.

I have jayatana installed (obviously) and the: -javaagent:/usr/share/java/jayatanaag.jar line added to:

Is this a bug in Ubuntu 17.04 or am I missing something here? Anyone else having troubles making this work?

@jsartti yep, just found out that this issue exists in Netbeans too. I tried adding "env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0" to the "Exec"-line of the launcher file, but without any result. — Tristan Vanderaerden, Apr 17 '17 at 12:00

Ubuntu 17.04 has a different value for XDG_CURRENT_DESKTO env variable

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity:Unity7

So changing it back to the following fixes the problem, I don't know other side effects this might have

export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity

It works but unity-control-center only shows some elements and sometimes the Unity Dash is not loaded. We will have to wait for a deeper solution ... – jsartti Apr 21 '17 at 16:01
Thanks, this works! Android Studio has the global menu back. I accepted your answer. – Tristan Vanderaerden Apr 22 '17 at 19:35
