I somewhat doubt we will get any response, it's looking more and more like the

Why does the global menu hide at all? Hiding it doesn't save a lot of
space, and it an can quite annoying.
-New users may have issues finding it
-A user may forgot an action like Edit - Copy if the Edit menu isn't a

+1 on this... the menu should never be hidden. It's very difficult and
unintuitive to hide it. The window title should just push it over... even
the geniuses designing OS X do it like that.

I don't have a link, but somewhere on the blogs or in a bug report I

I like this approach as long as there isn't
