Description of problem: For a few days now, I've been trying to figure out why I no longer have a menu bar on some applications: LibreOffice and okular for sure so far. I have two screens, with a panel on each. Focus follows mouse (mouse precedence). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Operating System: Mageia 9 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 Kernel Version: 6.1.10-server-1.mga9 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 20 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700K Memory: 125.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Product Name: XPS 8950 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open okular or LibreOffice (others?) 2. move window to 2nd screen if not already there 3. if there is no menu bar (File, Edit, etc) in the window, it will be in the taskbar. If there is a gap between the window and the taskbar, there is no way to access the menu; but if there is no gap, you can move the mouse from the window to the taskbar-based menu bar and access its functions. If the window is on the primary screen, it has no menu bar and no way to one since that screen's taskbar is either too full, or something else... This is VERY awkward.

Got this response from Dan on the Discuss ML: """ The same thing happened to me once on a Plasma system, and it took me forever to figure it out. It ended up that the applications were somehow switched to Macintosh mode, where there's a single menu at the top of the screen instead of one menu per application window, but the component that was supposed to display those menus at the top of the screen wasn't started, therefore no menus. The solution was to open System Settings→Background services and disable "Application menus daemon". I don't recall if I needed to log out and back in or not. Okular needed a separate fix; its menus had to be manually re-enabled by right clicking on its document window and enabling menus. """ Disabling "Application menus daemon" solved it for LibreOffice; but I still can't find okular's menubar enabler.

Created attachment 13691 [details] My menu doesn't have that Was hoping the Ctrl+M shown in your screenshot would do it; but nope...
Argh... needs left-click not right-click. Now, I see all my konsole windows are missing the menubar.
