(User perspective, in reference to the version of Unity in 11.04) Hiding the menu bar for non-maximised windows slows down accessing the menus because I don't know where a specific menu ('File', 'View', 'Tools' etc.) is going to be, so I have to move the mouse up into the menu and then 'browse around' to find the one I want. This is especially true for less-frequently used applications.
The 'browsing around' in the menu part is even more problematic because moving the mouse horizontally whilst keeping it in roughly the same vertical position - ie. without accidentally moving it below the menu bar, can be fiddly. I'm not going to ask for a config option here, it needs to be fixed in the 'default experience'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701294 Title: Always show menu bar for non-maximised windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/701294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
