Main menu not showing
Answered
On intellij, I was trying out different appearances and I clicked something that made the main menu go away. How can I bring it back?

Try Ctrl+Shift+A or Shift+Shift and type Main menu, Enter to toggle.
thanks so much. Insane response time, dang! It worked
I've got the similar problem in 2022.3.3 - I pressed something, and the main menu disappeared. But there is no such setting in my version - 'View | Appearance: Main Menu'. It's only available with a new UI which I'm not using. Reseting layout to default doesn't bring the menu back. How it could be restored?
@Yevgeny Go Hi, what's your current OS? If this is a Linux, try IDEA 2023.1 to see if it helps.
If this is not the Linux, can you find the `Main menu` in Shift+Shift? Choose it, and check if the below option is enabled:
Hi @Lejia Chen
Running latest IntelliJ IDEA on latest Mac OS: the menu bar disappeared, and none of the solutions shown here works. I don't see the "Main Menu" thing you point out in the screenshot above. Help? :)
Please press shift twice quickly, and enter "Show Log in Finder" to find that action, press it to get the idea.log.
Then share this log file in https://uploads.jetbrains.com/ and tell us the upload id so we could see any wrong from the logs.
Thanks.
I'm using Intellij Ultimate 2023.2. When I tried Shift+Shift, I saw the toggle for “View:Appearance: Main Menu” is “ON”. And if I go to “View” > “Appearance”, I saw that “Main Menu” is ticked. However, the main menu is still not appearing. Below are the screenshots.

It has been changed from `View > Appearance > Main Menu` to `View > Appearance > Main Menu as Separate Toolbar`: https://i.imgur.com/0EBMlhq.gif
I just upgrade it to 2023.2.1 version, and I have restarted the PC. The issue still remains (as seen below).
The issue is resolved after I restore the default IDE settings from File | Manage IDE settings menu. Afterwards, when I import my backup settings, the issue came back (i.e no Main Menu shown).
I then retried restoring the default IDE settings (which resolves the issue), and this time round, I imported everything except “Menus and Toolbars Customization”.
After the import, the issue did not come back.
Somehow, the “Menus and Toolbars Customization” has some issues. Intellij might want to investigate this bug further.
This is very recently broken for me, but in RubyMine installed on Ubuntu 20.04 via snap.
The default mode is the “New UI”… I have the menu in the “New UI”, but I don't like the look. When I switch to classic mode none of the suggestions above bring the menu back, including reverting to default settings (then switching back to classic mode, because I like it better).

@Jon Schang , check registry key “ide.linux.hide.native.title”, it should have been false. (To open the Registry, press `Shift + Shift`, then type “Registry”).
Nadia Tarashkevich Yup… it was true, in classic mode. I flipped it to false and was prompted for a browser restart. It didn't resolve the issue, tho. Also tried that “undecorated.border” right below it, just in case… still didn't fix it.
Jon Schang , do you use i3 or other tiling windows manager?
Possibly this, affects both classic and new UI
