Updated Ubuntu 11.04 from 10.x and vim's menu bar disappeared

1

Since the update gvim no longer displays a menu. The toolbar continues to work as expected.

I have tried :set guioptions-=m :set guioptions+=m

From within vim, and on advice from a similar problem have first removed ~/.gnome2/Vim (which did not help) then edited ~/.gnome2/Vim, changed 

[Placement]
Dock=Toolbar\\0,1,0,0\\Menubar\\0,0,0,0

to

[Placement]
Dock=Toolbar\\0,1,0,0\\Menubar\\0,0,0,1

But neither of these things helps. Does anyone have any other ideas?

However - it turns out that if I run gvim -f from the command line rather than gvim then all works and I have the expected menu. – Rupert – 2011-06-20T12:02:43.063

The -f option only asks gvim to stay in the foreground (rather than detach from the console as gvim does normally). It should not make any difference but does fix the problem. – Rupert – 2011-06-20T12:04:38.273

Same problem here .. I have the feeling that Unity is the culprit. – h3. – 2011-07-05T03:32:52.067

Something new on this issue? – Andrej – 2011-10-09T19:42:28.673

Try this in this order, it worked for me:

:set guioptions-=m

:set guioptions-=T

:set guioptions+=m

:set guioptions+=T
