Since meld-3.22.0-r1 the main/top menubar vanished (replaced by hamburger menu). Reverting back to meld-3.20.4 restores the main/top menubar. How can the main/top menubar be restored in meld-3.22.0-r1? meld is a very very important tool to me. I'm quite impaired by this new behaviour i.e. I simply cannot get used to hamburger-only menus. background: I'm using fluxbox window manager. Many years ago, I also saw this behaviour in gnome-base/nautilus which I workaround using alternative filemanager(s). In firefox, I restored the main menubar using More tools > Customize Toolbar > Toolbars > Menu Bar. In meld-3.22.0-r1 however, I don't see any option like this.

Awesome, about time it stopped wasting all this vertical space. But more seriously (though I was subjectively serious with that comment), we follow upstream versions and don't heavily patch things in. If someone wants this, they'll need to work with upstream on the upstream issue (or rather, pull requests that follow what is requested in there). In reality, I doubt this will happen.
Well, it's a matter of choice/taste but now the choice has gone. Actually I was hoping, there may be a general/app gtk3 setting using gsettings/gresources/gconf or something alike to configure the UI look/feel. In the source (meld-3.22.0.tar.xz) I also found # grep -r menubar meld/resources/ui/appwindow.ui: <property name="show-menubar">false</property> however puzzled how to enable (is possible). Anyway, I found dev-util/diffuse is a good alternative for meld.
