The addressbook in kontact didn't show items in the action menu like "send to". But it's there if you start addressbook outside kontact as standalone application.

could you provide a screenshot as I don't know where is the "send to" menu entry.

Menu kaddressbook in kontact and standalone

Items in Action menu addressbook in kontact and standalone.

The same here. And it's not only KAddressbook. All other applications like Akregator, KMail, KOrganizer do not show menus anymore when used in Kontact. Started separately they have menus.

This happened after update to Plasma 5.9. When I tried out Global Menus and switched to "Title Bar Button" menus disappeared but no button ever appeared in title bar. But it even came worse, the menus did not reappear in Kontact after switching back to the original setting.

I'm using Chakra Linux with Plasma 5.9.2, Applications 16.12.2 and Framworks  
5.31.0.

They are back.

I had to edit 

~/.config/kontactrc

by hand and deleted in various sections the entry 

MenuBar=Disabled


There was no way to enable the menu bars directly through the GUI. Thus I would call this rather a workaround than a solution. And anyhow there still is the problem that changing the Global Menu setting does not bring the menus back.

One last remark. As much as I know in KDE applications the menu display can be toggled with CTRL-M. At least this works with amarok (still KDE4), dolphin, gwenview, kate, kdenlive, where I use it heavily. In Kontact no reaction.

I can confirm this on arch linux with kaddressbook Version 5.8.2

not only action menu, tools menu is also missing. be it standalone or with kontact.
