It needs a side handle/flush lever as the original broke. None of the handles carried at HD seem to fit/work properly with it, nor do they seem to specifically carry Glacier Bay parts. I even had a handyman come and he couldn't find a way to fix it. The toilet has a square hole to fit the handle.
Glacier Bay Toilets are made in China by "various manufacturers" a local plumbing parts supplier is your best bet.

Your right this is a poor design. Space was the main reason for this and functionality was sacrificed. However, you can get a replacement rod at a major plumbing store. You could rig it by attaching a stem to the valve assembly. Allow the chain or rubber piece to slide over it. It is kind of like putting a permanent finger in the path of the chain to give it a "direct" lift up. This would then force the chain to go up instead of at an angle.

You can usually find parts through a plumbing supply house in your area but.....If you go back to Home Depot, go to the service desk and ask to see the DooDads catalog. You should be able to find the replacement items for your toilet in it. Home Depot ownes the largest plumbing supply warehouse in North America. They will ship this item directly to your home at no extra cost. Good luck.

The siphon mechanism works on a vacuum principle. If there is the slightest damage to the siphon membrane you will experience the problem you describe. A new siphon is required.
