Description Chris Lee 2003-03-23 13:25:43 UTC 
If the user has the panel menu enabled (the one with 'Applications' and  
'Actions' by default) then the menu should swallow the menus of the  
applications (and only show the menu of the current application, or the  
default Applications & Actions menus if no application is currently running).  
  
KDE has a Mac-style menu which does this, so it should be possible for  
GNOME2 to swallow GTK2 menus as well - if Qt can do it, I can't see any  
reason why it would be impossible in GTK2.
Comment 1 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2003-03-23 15:50:00 UTC 
this would be pretty cool...
Comment 2 Andrew Sobala 2003-03-23 20:35:02 UTC 
And it's definitely a duplicate, but I can't find it.
Comment 3 Vidar Braut Haarr 2004-06-11 10:55:50 UTC 
Probably dupe of bug 82732
Comment 4 Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen 2004-11-21 01:10:51 UTC 
Even though this is a pretty old report I'd still like to point out that it is a
really good proposal.

Cheers

I find this feature of MacOS to be rather obnoxious, and it's very different
from the current Gnome and Windows behaviors...I would say it's worth making
this optional.  I'm not sure there's a clear winner for usability.

We'd need support in GTK+.
Comment 8 André Klapper 2020-11-07 12:15:24 UTC 
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all
old feature requests in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you still use gnome-panel and if you are still requesting this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be implemented.
