Main Mac Menu no longer displays on phpStorm
Came into work today, there was an update for High Sierra which I did, and when I opened up phpStorm 2017.2 there is no longer the main mac menu at the top. It's just the Apple Icon and Phpstorm. Phpstorm is not clickable. I looked to see if there was an update for phpStorm, but the version is still 2017.2 per the download page.

I don't know if you've resolved this yet but from what I have found its due to High Sierra. This is an issue on all JetBrains IDE's right now unless theres been a patch in the last couple days that Im not aware of. This should work on all JB IDE's. You'll have to enable a menu for each app frame:
Open PHPStorm
Press CMD+SHIT+A (to open the search all menu)
type "vmoptions" into the search field and hit Enter
A dialogue box may appear stating the vmoptions config file or some such doesn't exist...click the option to create the file (I think its just "Yes" or "Create")
The config file ppears in your editor. Place this in the last line: "-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=false"
Press CMD+SHIT+A again
tyep "restart", then select "Just Restart" in the pop-up.
This resolved my issue until the program can be fixed.
Thank you.
It seems that the bug is resolved in the EAP-Version of PhpStorm.
Installing https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572 should fix this.
I tried it with the installation of the Java Framework. But in my case it still not works. But the EAP-Version works fine for me. MacOS 10.13.1 Beta (17B42a). I also installed the Update of Java which comes yesterday.
@Vladimir Luchansky I tried to run through uninstalling Java on my Mac and installing that, but am unable to at all.
@Info, this did work for me.
@info - thanks for update. i'd read about downgrading java as a work-around but thought it better to utilize the in frame menu until JB fixed the issue. i'll update tonight
