2061987 - Menu bar appears below toolbar

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1822991

(Thunderbird :: Toolbars and Tabs, defect)

Description

[Petr Klapka]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:153.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/153.0

Steps to reproduce:

Enabled menu bar.

Actual results:

Menu bar appears BELOW the toolbar, breaking with decades of UX/UI behavioral norms.

Expected results:

Menu bar should appear ABOVE any toolbar and below the window title bar if enabled. This has been a common UX convention for the last 30 years.

It is possible to work around this by:
adding a /chrome folder to the default profile folder
adding a userChrome.css file to it
adding the line
#toolbar-menubar { order: -1 !important; }
to it. This is not a difficult thing to fix, yet "Wont Fix" is on all reported instances of this.
