Comment 10 for bug 701294

(User perspective, in reference to the version of Unity in 11.04)

Hiding the menu bar for non-maximised windows slows down accessing the menus because I don't know where a specific menu ('File', 'View', 'Tools' etc.) is going to be, so I have to move the mouse up into the menu and then 'browse around' to find the one I want. This is especially true for less-frequently used applications.

The 'browsing around' in the menu part is even more problematic because moving the mouse horizontally whilst keeping it in roughly the same vertical position - ie. without accidentally moving it below the menu bar, can be fiddly.

I'm not going to ask for a config option here, it needs to be fixed in the 'default experience'.
