Regardless of the settings selected for a profile, konsoles are sometimes created with and sometimes without a menu bar. It looks likely that visibility of the menubar is determined - rather than by the definition in the profile - by what figures in .kde4/share/config/konsolerc - which reflects the last explicit action of hiding or showing the menubar in some other konsole. This behaviour is not what is needed when using profiles (the behaviour in kde3 was correct). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): konsole from KDE 4.2.1 How reproducible: not always; see remark about influence of menubar-visibility toggling in other konsoles as recorded in konsolerc Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a profile with menubars made invisible (Settings -> Edit current profile -> General -> uncheck "Show menu bar in new windows" 2. Launch a konsole 3. In some other konsole: do View -> Check/Uncheck "Show Menu Bar" 4. Iterate (2) and (3) .kde4/share/config/konsolerc - first >> https://qa.mandriva.com/attachment.cgi?id=12564 First dump of my konsolerc .kde4/share/config/konsolerc - second >> https://qa.mandriva.com/attachment.cgi?id=12565 Second dump of my konsolerc - make immediately after the first, after having done precisely 2 actions: - action 1: resize the height of a (any) konsole - action 2: konsole popup-window -> hit "Show Menu Bar" The 2 images of konsolerc illustrate the probable reason for the problem: When there was a "Set default konsole" button (kde3), konsolerc was (essentially) updated only when that button was hit. In kde4 this button has not been implemented, and konsolerc is updated whenever the properties of any konsole has been modified. That would be OK (it is a question of taste), but only if konsoles that are newly created with a given profile are created with the properties defined in the profile - the values from konsolerc should only be used to determine properties that are not defined in the profile. 727356 1 echidnaman 2009-03-08 18:28:37 +0000 This might be related to bug 172142. 1166657 2 adaptee 2011-09-24 22:03:43 +0000 Git commit b5dc6891a8c4cb58de7ad5a640f17c823fc1e953 by Jekyll Wu.

Even manually setting the value 'MenuBar=Disabled' is reverted on closing and reopening konsole. 1478044 4 cfeck 2014-10-25 16:26:01 +0000 Vincent, what is your setting in "Configure Konsole..." > General > Show menubar by default? 1485148 5 vbatts 2014-12-11 18:37:59 +0000 ah. That did it. That seems like a new place. Thanks.
