ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Can't get Konsole menus back no how. See https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=227&t=172409&sid=488298f15ac5f1f992028a33abd9fa9b for all my failed attempts. A workaround (any way to get the menu bar back) would be appreciated. Thank you.

Looks like a broken config file issue, close all konsole instances, then delete ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/konsole, and try again.

Konsole thinks there is a menu, but there isn't

By reading Konsole source code, I discovered that I could bring up menus with Ctrl+Shift+F10. However, when I went to the Settings menu, the "Show Menubar" entry was missing. When I selected "Configure Konsole" from the menu, it shows that the menu bar is turned on. But you can clearly see in the Konsole window that there is no menu bar.
