Ok. May be the global menu behavior is ok. But I do not really agree with problem (2).
It doesn't show any window title which makes things difficult to identify menu for a particular window when many windows are open on a single work-space. I have to bring a window to focus to make sure I am accessing menu for that particular window. It becomes more pronounce in zesty as Ubuntu stopped patching gnome-apps for horizontal menu. And we are left with single vertical menu. Of course I can determine who's menu it is by peeking at the menu itself, but it takes little extra time I don't want waste even that bit in a rigid work environment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-applet in Ubuntu.

On Unity, 1. It hides (shows window-title) normally & only reveals itself on mouse-over. This keeps panel tidy & distraction free. On Gnome-Flashback (Gnome-Panel), 1. The appmenu is visible all the time 2. Doesn't show window-title As both of them belongs to same package the behavior should be same for any other desktop-shells as well unless it hampers critical functionality.
