Description Simon Andric 2014-10-07 21:08:30 UTC
hello!

after recent update a day or two ago i saw after opening kate and ktorrent that menu bar was gone...and no icon to point to turn it back on --- now for example preferences of each program are unaccessible, nor i can close the program (pressing the X button is not the same as going to file/exit).

i use project neon 5

nice day :)

Simon

ps. i couldnt find "menu bar" in bugs.kde.org..i hoep i filled this bug report under the correct topic/department,.. please feel free to move it to a more appropriate part of bug webpage if necessary :)

thank you!

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Thomas Lübking 2014-10-07 21:44:27 UTC
Try "Ctrl+M"

In "kcmshell5 style", (or the resp. systemsettings page) how is the menubar configured?
(In app, titlebar button, top screen, only export)
Comment 2 Simon Andric 2014-10-07 22:20:25 UTC
hello!

thanks for fast reply...

am.. ctrl+m --in kate worked (even though it wasnt visible it popped the message that menu bar wil lbe turned off ) and when i again typed ctrl+m - the menu bar appeared...even after closing & reopening kate, the menu bar persists... 

that is however not the case with ktorrent... tried the same procedure but the menu bar ... didnt show up...

also posting the screenshots of your request... 

thank you!

:)

The setting's not there (apparently still not ported to KF5)

Please notice that this has nothing to do with KWin, I got to guess around myself.

-> Did ktorrent meanwhile perhaps buy into the chrome/firefox/... apporach to have the menu stashed in a toolbutton?
You can also attach ~/.kde/share/config/ktorrentrc which might tell why the menubar is not shown.

Comment 13 Thomas Lübking 2014-10-08 09:16:01 UTC
From ktorrent:
> menubar_hidden=false

Is this a "fresh" KDE5 isntallation or do you re-use user configurations from a former KDE4 installation?
Comment 14 Simon Andric 2014-10-08 10:47:57 UTC
when i instaled kubuntu from project-neon5 live cd i also did a fresh ktorrent installation.... and i didnt use any old preferences.... so its a fresh kf5 installation - but -- till a few days ago menu bar was showing without problem (i instaleld pn5 and ktorrent in august), but after update (of not ktorrent coz its been 4.3.1 since i think 2011/2012) & reboot, the menu bar was gone...

thank you

nice day :)

Comment 15 Thomas Lübking 2014-10-09 19:28:13 UTC
> MenuBar=Disabled
Stunningly kate has the menubar disabled.

I disabled the menubar here and afterwards wasn't able to re-enable the setting.
Then I simply deleted the "MenuBar=Disabled" keys from the katerc (after I closed kate) and started kate -> menubar present as expected and remained so on subsequent restarts.

I cannot say about ktorrent, but at least for kate, the issue seems that KMainWindow does not correctly revert the setting. -> I altered and re-assigned the bug.

This happens on kdelibs from KDE SC4 here (as well) - i'm pretty sure your ktorrent is KDE4, but you should check the "about" of kate to determine which version you're actually using.
Comment 16 Simon Andric 2014-10-09 20:03:51 UTC
hello!

kate 3.14.1
using kde 4.14.1

on project-neon5 (frameworks)
-------------------
ktorrent 4.3.1
using kde 4.14.1

on project-neon5 (frameworks)
-------------------

thank you!

nice day

Simon :)
Comment 17 Simon Andric 2014-10-22 22:32:42 UTC

nice day...thank you

Comment 18 Thomas Lübking 2014-10-23 20:08:17 UTC
Yes, "by me" - but it's not in kwin.
I somehow failed to re-assign the bug, sorry for that.
