I got the same result when adding/removing the "Global Menu" widget...

I think this is a Plasma/KF5 problem... I do not think Kate has any special handling for this...

humm, I can't reproduce following the same steps with Gwenview.
Comment 3 Kåre Särs 2021-05-16 13:13:57 UTC 
humm, again :)

I tried it with Gwenview and there the menu disappeared when the title-bar-menu was enabled as it should, but when I disabled the title-bar-menu the menu was still hidden (same with Kate)... 

So I see two problems here...

1) The menu-bar does not automatically come back when you disable the title-bar-menu/global-menu.
2) Kate does not know the menu is hidden and thinks it needs to hide it first. Gwenview somehow knows the menu is hidden.

I used the global menu for a few days, and now after I removed it, the menu bar is no longer displayed. Every time I open kate I need to press the shortcut twice to display it.
Kate 21.11.70
