User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/116.0
Steps to reproduce:
- Upgrade to Thunderbird 115
- Re-enable the menu bar
Actual results:
Thunderbird puts the menu bar below the toolbar, in glaring contradiction with the convention for every desktop I've ever used and in distracting and confusing contrast to the rest of the applications on the rest of the desktop.
(To be perfectly frank, seen in the context of a desktop with server-side window decorations and a traditional "menu bar above toolbars" layout order, and with "Hide system window titlebar" unchecked, it looks like a bug that slipped through QA and reflects very poorly on Thunderbird.)
Expected results:
Please at least put the menu bar on top if the "Hide system window titlebar" option is unchecked.
That way, it better aligns with the "The menu bar is always directly below the titlebar... but sometimes a toolbar is also relocated to within the titlebar" paradigm that's growing popular with GNOME and Windows.
(I.e. It's never "toolbar above menu bar", it's "menu bar always directly below titlebar... but sometimes the titlebar is augmented".)

Putting the Menu Bar in it's correct position is a question that has been asked so many times in bugs and also in the Support Forum, but despite being perfectly capable of creating this for decades and just about most programs I've ever come across using it, the new supernova design seems to present a huge problem with coding to faciliate it. It's all to do with various OS.
I do not any program that does not put a Main Menu Bar at the top, but it doesn't mean it does not exist.
Fortunately, this can be fixed at the moment by creating a 'userChrome.css' file.
