Description xp5 2025-07-11 06:39:45 UTC
SUMMARY
Global menu disappears by time, if app was not launched by opening a file.
-- Not sure what's causing the disappearance, just after some time it will happen, relaunching the app will solve but by time again, corresponding reports existed online, but this thread gives more inspection:
Importantly, however, I've found that if we were launching an app (e.g. lo-writer)  by clicking on any related files (e.g. odt file), such bug won't happen.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. From any file explorer or "Folder View Widget", open an existing personal file.
2. The global menu won't disappear by time.

OBSERVED RESULT
Otherwise, if you launch an app directly (with no file-to-open argument), and for a while for some mysterious reasons, the global menu disappears.

EXPECTED RESULT
Please inspect into the Global Menu Widget.
