Re: Global Menu problem

I went ahead and (after backup) deleted the .Freecad folder in home. After relaunch off the app the menu behaves correctly. Your comit totally works. I will try to reinstall the various addons one by one and see if that problem pops up again. I surely hope not. The top bar on my system is latte dock and on version 0.19 will support dynamic background color based on the theming of the app in use. That together with the dark style sheet in freecad will make for a really nice site on my 14 inch screen laptop when on the go.

Hi, I am using Freecad 0.19 on KDE. I am also facing the same issue.
For a quick workaround I created a Macro. Whenever the Menu inflates out of visual range, I execute this Macro.
I am attaching the Macro. If you want, you can copy this to your User Macro Location.

good for you but wouldn't it be easier to just enable this parameter?

btw, I just documented this parameter on Fine-tuning now, no wonder I didn't know about it before.

Wow, the ClearMenuBar Parameter is working just fine. The Menu bar is now behaving correctly.
Thanks for pointing this trick out. Somehow I'd overlooked it at the first place :roll: . Thank You!
