This unhides the menu instead of hiding everything behind a burger. This should be the default. The defaults are awful in many ways and they've only gotten worse with the recent panel rearrangement.

Why on earth would anyone guess that? That is absurd.

I had the same problem and there's not even a burger anywhere.

But... thank you for posting that.
