@kde I've been using Global Menu for a while, but since it is less and less supported, I've finally removed the widget.

However, I did not get the local menu back! Now all my KDE apps have no menu at all.

I thought that restarting the session would fix it, but it did not help. Anybody has any hint on how to fix this?

Just for anyone who might be interested, to have normal menubar in LibreOffice one needs to search for background services in kickoff (or any alternative) and turn off Application menus daemon.

I was going crazy without the menubar. I wish there was an easy way to choose how menubars are displayed in KDE Settings: turned off completely, classic (below titilebar of each window), global (available via global app menu widget or plasmoid), or in a titlebar button that looks like a hamburger button. Also an option to invoke / show the menu via a hotkey (like Alt, I think Firefox does this).

Even better, have this per application or per window using window rules.

Currently app menus are a mess, unfortunately.

I might be wrong here, but looks like KDE devs think of app menus as something unused and outdated, something takes up screen space, and tries to find a workaround to save that space (global menus, titlebar app menu bar etc) but for some software (like LibreOffice) I think menubars are essential, and still want to have them permanently.
