ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Note that keyboard combination 'Ctrl-Shift-M still works: it shows or hides Konsole menu bar at the top of the window.

Comment 2 Ville Aakko 2023-12-05 12:50:49 UTC

It is easy to hide the menu bar by mistake (or, perhaps another bug and the menu bar hides itself, as I don't recall hiding it???).

Anyways, there is no way to bring it back or to show the keybinding from the UI, once it has been removed. It seems like it used to be in the right click context menu before, but has been removed (as a mistake) at some point?

Comment 3 Kurt Hindenburg 2024-06-06 23:30:46 UTC

Using the recent version, there's a "menu..." item when the toolbars and menubar are hidden.  When the session toolbar is visible, the "menu..." item is not there since it is in the session toolbar.

Hi,

To re-iterate the bug, with clear steps to reproduce:
1. Press CTRL+SHIT+M (I've done this many times by accident)
2. Forget the key combination
3. Try to bring up menu bar (File, Edit, Show etc...)

Expected results:
There should be a clear way to bring back the menu bar via the UI. (It used to be there in the right-click context menu, but is gone for some reason. It is still listed in the documentation!)

Observer results:
There is no way to bring back the menu bar via the UI. One needs to guess the key combination or use Google (yes, I've needed to do this many times).
