The menu of all applications on my system disappeared. I mean the menu in the upper part of the application window, with "File, Modify, etc.". It happens on both GTK and Qt applications. Some examples: - Dolphin - Firefox - Libreoffice - KeepassXC Plasma 5.22.4 KDE Frameworks 5.83.0 Qt 5.15.2 Fedora 34
So you neither get them in the global menu nor inside the app? Please run dbus-monitor --pcap and open dolphin

I don't know what is the global menu. It's just the menu that I mentioned that does not appear. If I right click, menus appear. > Please run dbus-monitor --pcap and open dolphin I have forwarded the output to a file because otherwise I could not save the Konsole output (I don't have the menu). Note that I don't know why the output encoding is so messed up. Note also that this computer has been installed just a few weeks ago so its settings are pretty clean $ dbus-monitor --pcap > dbus-monitor__pcap-dolphin

Did you ever experiment with using a Global Menu applet or a titlebar appmenu button and then later go back to the default configuration? In a KDE app like Dolphin, does the Ctrl+M shortcut bring back the in-window menubar?

Well that's extremely odd.

What are the Plasma config files in ~/.config that I can attach here? It must be a problem of config files because I created a new user and it works correctly
I had a similar issue, turns out i had a org.kde.plasma.appmenu entry in my ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc, so i would post that file. Although in my situation it seems like i had a global menu on a screen that wasn't connected anymore, since it's been a few years since i came back to plasma, this was a bit confusing. Maybe menu bars should still be shown if there is a global menu that isn't visible anywhere.

I also have such entry in ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc but I don't know if it is expected to be there or not [Containments][25][Applets][26] immutability=1 plugin=org.kde.plasma.appmenu
So yes, at one point you did have a global menu (even if you didn't realize it), which causes the bug. So this is Bug 439266. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 439266 ***

(It was quite confusing to diagnose this one when konsole had that bug though)
It's the same bug. The config file doesn't ever actually delete anything--which is a separate bug--but in this case that bug helped to reveal that you have an appmenu entry in there, which means that at one point you did have a Global Menu applet, which means Bug 439266 got triggered in that moment.

I don't think I'm understanding you, as far i can tell Bug 439266 is specific to KXMLGUI, while with this issue it would disable the menu bars of everything, for example GTK, chromium, and QT programs. Removing the appmenu entry fixes the issue, and then the KXML bug will be triggered as well, but menu bars will display for non-KDE programs
Oh, I guess it is different, then. In that case the bug is that you secretly have a Global Menu applet that you can't see, which is suppressing menubars.
[germano@gm-desktop .config]$ pwd /home/germano/.config [germano@gm-desktop .config]$ grep -R "MenuBar=Disabled" kdenliverc:MenuBar=Disabled partitionmanagerrc:MenuBar=Disabled gwenviewrc:MenuBar=Disabled dolphinrc:MenuBar=Disabled arkrc:MenuBar=Disabled okularrc:MenuBar=Disabled konsolerc:MenuBar=Disabled session/dolphin_dolphin_dolphin:MenuBar=Disabled kwriterc:MenuBar=Disabled removing "MenuBar=Disabled" from such conf files is futile because as soon I open again one of them, the "MenuBar=Disabled" entry will be restored.
Right. The "MenuBar=Disabled" lines in your apps' config files are the symptom, not the cause. The cause is that there's secretly an invisible Global Menu widget that you can't see or use, but your apps notice it, so they write "MenuBar=Disabled" into their config files automatically.
We haven't gotten any new reports of this. I think it's safe to say it's not a widespread issue. Unfortunately, there isn't really any way for us to troubleshoot it after the fact, so I think the best we can do here is say "remove the Global Menu entry from your appletsrc file" and move on with life. Sorry.
