Description Iyán Méndez Veiga 2022-04-06 09:55:06 UTC 
SUMMARY
I created a new application menu bar panel (by mistake), and menus from apps disappeared. When I deleted the panel, menus were not restored, shortcut Ctrl + M doesn't work and after a while I couldn't find how to restore these menus.

I think menus should be reverted if the panel is removed. But also, an option should be easy to find in the system settings. Also, why does the usual shortcut not work.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create application menu bar panel
2. Delete it

OBSERVED RESULT
Apps without menus. Very noticeable in Konsole or Kate, for example.

EXPECTED RESULT
Everything should be same as before creating the panel.

Can reproduce. It's the same thing if you remove a titlebar menu button.

Seems like an issue in KXMLGui not noticing and re-enabling menus. It does notice that the menu should be hidden, but it doesn't notice that it should back.
