Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
While on smaller displays, having app menus in the global menu works out well, on larger displays this is proving to be a bit unhandy and most likely will not be generally well received.
Atm it's quite simple to adjust on a per app basis whether to use the global menu or not though clearly a config tool would be better.
This though is not an ideal solution, (if a 'solution' is even considered needed), if it's is possible at some point to set to - maximized - use global
unmaxed -keep in app
that would work out well for all users
It would also somewhat account for the possibility of some apps having missing menu options when it's menus are in the global menu
