Bug Description

For QtQuick.Controls based applications no menubars are shown. The following message is printed to the console instead:

appmenu-qt: handleReparent 128 The given QWindow has no QMenuBar assigned

Apparently this is because QtQuick.Controls menus are built upon QQuickMenuBar and QGuiApplicationPrivate::platformTheme()->createPlatformMenuBar(); instead of QMenuBar.

Also for QtQuick 2.2 and Qt Quick Controls 1.1.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04. There are also reports in Qt Forums about this issue.

this issue persists on qt5.4 which comes along with ubuntu 15.04.

One cannot create menubars in qml ApplicationWindow using QtQuick 2.2 or QtQuick 2.3

Is there any possible workaround?

Setting the UBUNTU_MENUPROXY environment variable to the empty string helps to work around the bug: http://askubuntu.com/questions/10481/how-do-i-enable-or-disable-the-global-application-menu
