@Ian (ian-bradley) 
You say it makes a lot of sense, but not to me, so I must have been unclear in 
my description of what does not make sense.

The Title bar where the menus will appear is there and taking up screen
real estate whether or not you are hovering over it. The new feature (if
I understand it correctly) appears to make the menus go away some of the
time, and I can't imagine why that is supposed to be sensible behavior.
Selecting the location of where the menus appear makes some sense, but
hiding them altogether just doesn't make sense for the focal app that
might want to do something...

My current theory of the bug that I saw (which I am still pretty sure is
related to the one described here) is that the menu-hiding thing was
somehow getting weirded out and became unable to unhide the menus when
it should. My strongest evidence is that it when away when I changed the
Appearance settings to disable the dynamic menu behavior. That is not
conclusive both because other upgrades were still being installed
(including at least one large one about 100 MB) and because I'm not even
certain that I was seeing the same bug...

However, the more serious bug that seemed to be a memory leak affecting
BOINC Manager has almost surely been cured. At this point I'm basically
okay with 16.04 and just regard these things as teething problems--but I
still haven't found any fresh new or even compelling features in
16.04... My concrete definition of compelling feature is "Would I have
donated some money to help implement or support the ongoing costs of
that feature?" So far I haven't found anything...
