[Bug 1890049] [NEW] global menu bar no longer supported after 20.04 upgrade

[vexorian]

Public bug reported:

1) version: 79.0+build1-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 500
2) Ubuntu Release : Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS

3) What I expected to happen:

In Unity DE. menu bars are integrated with title bar or top panel  when
maximized

4) What happened instead:

Menu bar doesn't integrate. Takes too much vertical space. Problematic
because I have made a jump to wide screens around 2012. I guess decision
makers at ubuntu still enjoy  4:3 screens and thus don't see the value
in DEs that optimize vertical space. But it would be really nice to have
a hand here.

----
The current workaround is to disable the menu bar, which leaves me at the mercy of the hamburger menu. The hamburger menu is an implant from old Mobile App Design.  But nowadays even Mobile App UX designers decry the Hamburger menu and in a desktop it makes little sense. Firefox is a good example because the menu bar has sections like History which are a lot richer than what's available to be accessed from the hamburger menu. It's really just not possible to have as many menu options and categories as a menu bar in a hamburger menu. And access is less efficient -> more mouse movement -> more mouse clicks.

So I have to choose between wasting space unnecessarily with a menu bar
that does not integrate with the top panel OR losing a lot of access to
options and settings by removing the menu bar and using the hamburger
menu instead.
