Hi guys, just to let you know that I have started digging into it. What is weird is that the code used to show/hide the menu bar is exactly the same for linux and there is no problem there, so it seems that it is the interaction between electron and windows that is misbehaving. We modify the attribute of the browserWindow responsible for that and even though it updates the value, the menu bar is still visible. I even tried to force it by calling the method to hide it, and it didn't do anything.
From there either we leave it as such (and I know it's annoying, I always have it as auto hidden) or we could create a setting that will completely remove the menubar, which is not optimal for many people and might break the shortcuts which are defined as interaction on them. At the moment, I am not sure what is the best course to follow, we will need to discuss it.
workaround - delete file:
C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Roaming\Ferdium\window-state.json
fullscreen mode breaks menu functionality.
I tried deleting this file, restarted without ever going to full screen mode, and it didn't help at all.
Menu bar not visible on Linux On version 7.0.0 apimage for Linux I did lost menu bar and [Alt-key] did not show it plus window was maximized and fixed there. Deleting ~/.config/Ferdium\window-state.json solved the problem (note: first exit from Ferdium ;)
