After a long time I started kleopatra again from system tray menu 'Status & Notifications' and the kleopatra window was shown without a menubar. I've tried the 'standard?' shortcuts Ctrl-M and Ctrl-Shift-M. Still no menu. I could not find a way in the UI to get the menu back. Hack: * quit kleopatra * vi ~/.config/kleopatrarc and remove [MainWindow] MenuBar=disabled (AFAIR) * start kleopatra -> Menubar was shown again. Now I searched in the Menues how to disable the menubar to find the short-cut key to get it back. Nothing :-( I still have no idea how the menubar was disabled. Proposed possible solutions: 1) ignore the bug, because I can not reproduce the 'menubar somehow suddenly magically hidden) and trust people to find with google this bug report to get their menu back 2) With disabled menubar, add somewhere a popupmenu that shows the items of the menubar as a menu (like e.g. dolphin, firefox and chrome*) 3) Add a Settings -> Show Menubar (Ctrl-(shift)-M) as in e.g. konsole, kmail and kmail-composer (for implementation example see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38256262) FWIW: My favorite would be 3)
Maybe this is the same as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385236 ? I'm also experiencing menubar missing recently, and have found many possibly same bug reports (or I'll open a new one if none of them really matches mine).
The dolphin bug is not the same AFAIU. I could restore menubar when I edited the Kleopatra config file.
Seems similar bug: I've noticed on my two-screen set up with an "extra" desktop menu bar on display #2, that many programs i run on Display 1 have no menu bar and no way to get it to display. But when I move the program window to display #2 the menu bar options appears on the "extra" menu bar, for example "File Edit View" etc. The widgets and icons i have on second desktop menu bar slide over to the right, to make room for the program's menu bar options. Not all programs are like that though, for example doesn't happen with Kate but it does happen with FreeCAD. When I move the program back to display #1 the program menu options vanish. If the program is minimized or smaller than maximized the menu options still show up on the desktop menu bar, which is weird, even if the program window is "miles away" from the desktop toolbar. This has to be a bug, I can't imagine anyone thinking it would be a good idea to put the menu options "off the program".

I guess it's called "Application Menu Bar" and it looks like an Apple copycat thing I guess. Maybe KDE had it first, but i think like even the 80's macs had that feature though. anyway. if you don't have on one both displays then you don't get menu options. So I guess it's user error and not a bug.
