Notice that even if you enable the newui by compiling MESS with OSD=winui, this won't work. Menubar toggling is temporarily disabled.
Well, I'm a user, not a developer, so compiling the source is no option for me (and certainly many others, too).

And of course I've tried almost EVERY special key (combinations) in getting this menu bar (or the mouse) back, but also <TAB> has no effect at all.

It seems that the following saying isn't that wrong:
"The more developers the worse the product"

(in German we say "Zu viele K�che verderben den Brei", but I guess this can't be translated well into English ;-) )
