Menu bar is only visible with custom title bar

Describe the Bug

Manu bar is only visible when title bar is set to custom. It doesn’t show up at all when it’s set to native. It is not visible, nor does it appear when Alt is pressed. This also invalidates the “Menu Bar Visibility” setting

Steps to Reproduce

Set title bar to native and try to open menu bar

Expected Behavior

Menu bar to be visible regardless, like it does in stock VS Code

Operating System

Linux

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Additional Information

This is pretty awful, as “custom” title bar uses Windows sensibilities and doesn’t take into account that WM/DE already add decorations to window. Or, as is in my case, i don’t need the decorations altogether. As it stands, i have to choose between unnecessary title bar, or not being able to use the menu at all

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
