I had the exact same problem and the workaround I found which works perfectly is to uninstall the global menu functionality in Unity as it is that option that causes gnome-terminal to display a menu even if it is asked not to. To uninstall unity's global menu: sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-gtk appmenu-qt I don't know if it is required to currently use Unity for changes to apply correctly, but I re-logged my account on unity to execute the above command then returned to gnome shell and it was fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869326 Title: Hide Menu setting is not being respected in GNOME Shell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/869326/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
