I think the button could toggle menu visibility in maximized windows too. This would increase discoverability of the global menu and allow to directly control its persistence. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

@Danillo Down the road, if the devs see a necessity, it could also scale to toggle persistence in maximized too (per app). But this bug is to resolve the issue for unmaximized first, so that would probably be a later topic. But for discoverability, is going to help that it will be shown for 2

The M button is too small. In the Firefox app button, there was New Tab . People had to click to open the menu, but people had trouble targetting the mouse pointer to the , so the firefox developers made the menu open after a while hovering New Tab . That makes the surface area be New Tab

@Romano Yes - Unity does indeed work quite nicely with focus-follows-mouse and auto-raise. I've also removed the packages that implement global menu, and turned off screen-edge window maximisation. And I'm reasonably happy with the result. It's just that I'd have preferred to have a GUI (or
