[Bug 783240] Re: disable autohide AppMenu (global menu)

2011-07-03 Thread Brent Thomson
First, I agree that there should at least be an option of not hiding the "File Edit View Tools Help" menu automatically. IMO, hiding this until a user mouses over it is a poor design decision. It completely preempts the ability to have self-instructing menus. With the menu hidden, the user
