No, this behaviour is inconsistent with the "classic" desktop... Inkscape, gedit (with fullscreen plugin), GIMP and other applications do keep their menus in fullscreen-mode under Gnome. So they should in Unity.

I don't count applications, that have a "special" fullscreen mode, like Totem, EOG, MyPaint or Shotwell, as they have a different UI for their fullscreen modes, designed for specific purposes (compare them in windowed and fullscreen mode).

But rather I'm talking about more generic applications and applications with complex menus, that will benefit from menu availability. Thus, I'm reopening this bug.
