Ha! Got it!
I do not really know how, but: I had only two windows open: first systemsettings in fullscreen, then opened Konsole which 'overlapped' the systemsettings-window. Then opened gimp. It switched to the next virtual desktop where gimp started fullscreen, than back to the first one, showing a third of the gimp window without a taskbar.

So I think there is a bug in combining layouts. Didn't read much of the code though.

Congratulations for your persistence with a happy ending! Great work!

Just checking if there are any updates on this bug?

This isn't only happening with GIMP, but with GTK apps as well. I can replicate the same error with Filezilla, Sublime Text and Inkscape. Global menu bar is just missing for these apps unless I switch workspaces/windows. Not quite a super-serious bug, but for sure it's annoying.

Does anyone know what's the proper place to report this?

As it happens while using the KWin-tiling-script I would report it there.

Maybe here? (Select Component: Global Menu)

https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=plasmashell

BTW, I assume you don't use KWin-tiling-script, don't you?

Nope, only "Desktop change OSD" is enabled. I did install kwin-script-grid-tiling though, a few months ago. I ended up uninstalling it. Maybe it modified some setting that causes this bug? I'm fairly sure I've been experiencing the same bug long before I installed the script.

Edit: I was able to replicate the same issue with a clean home folder. Only happens with GTK apps though, Qt apps show their menu entries just fine.

Edit 2: This has been reported previously, please see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422786
As of now this is still not fixed, and is in fact a regression. It might be fixed in the next KDE release, but who knows. For those "I use arch BTW" users, here's you go: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plas ... w-appmenu/

Fixes the issue and has even more options than KDE's global menu implementation. So far so good.

Of course not. Scripts should not work that way.

That's good to know it has been reported awhile ago.

I tried it about a year ago and it didn't work very well, so I ended up uninstalling it. I'll wait for the fix above. Thanks for your feedback.

Guys, on 6 march 2021 and this error still existed.. I've been using Kubuntu 20.04 for a while and there was no issue but today I freshly installed Kde Neon and this bug appeared again

I just found this, but after I tried it, didn't work for me. Feel free to give it a try on your own setup:

I am also experiencing the same problem in Kubuntu 21.04 on every GTK app (chrome, sublime text, Gimp etc.) . I even shared a post on Reddit, but no one cared. Here is link of my post. It has screen video. link:https://www.reddit.com/r/kdeneon/comments/h874hs/i_have_global_menu_issue_like_this_is_there/ . This problem appears since Kubuntu 18.04 but no one works on it . Time to switch another DE..
