IDEA 2019.2.3 "Toggle Global Menu Integration"
Answered
Is there a way to persistently turn off the global menu integration for IDEA 2019.2.3? Using "Search Everywhere" I can trigger the "Toggle Global Menu Integration" action to turn the integration off. However, I have to turn it off each time I start IDEA. Is there a way to turn if off and have IDEA remember that?

You can disable it using "linux.native.menu=false" in bin/idea.properties.
Thank you for your answer, but unfortunately that does not seem to work. Even with "linux.native.menu=false" (without the quotes) in the idea.properties file, IDEA still starts with the menu integration turned on (Ubuntu 16.04 with GNOME).
Well, modifying idea.properties does not work in the first place, because IDEA does not seem to read this file: When I edit idea.sh to echo $IDEA_PROPERTIES and $IDE_PROPERTIES_PROPERTY neither of the two is set. Unfortunately even setting IDEA_PROPERTIES="$IDE_BIN_HOME/idea.properties" does not help (even though this in turn sets $IDE_PROPERTIES_PROPERTY to a seemingly proper value).
Does Help | Edit Custom Properties action open the same file?
linux.native.menu=falseshould work from there.Please check this two registry (Help | Find Action | Registry) options also:

Adding "linux.native.menu=false" to "Help | Edit Custom Properties" does not work either.
However, unchecking "linux.native.menu" in the registry does work. (Indeed after doing so and restarting IDEA, the "linux.native.menu" entry is gone from my registry.)
Thank you very much for your patience and help.
By the way - I love the fact that you decided to add a "linux.native.menu.force.disable" property in the registry ... ;-)
