Comment 42 for bug 732653

Seriously, i don't understand how one can find auto-hiding of the global menu useful.
If you say that this is useful when you move windows, think how many times per hour you move your IDE, browser etc,... and how may times you seek an entry in the menu.

And finally, the global menu is similar to the one in Apple's OS X. Does it auto-hide? No. And ... I haven't heard of many people complaining about this.
