Scale mode hides the menu bar

Reported by: iMarkM Owned by:

Description

The menu bar gets hidden in scale mode and there is no option that can be found to have the menu bar always shown when in scale mode. Since scale mode is basically a special-case windowed mode, I would expect the same behavior of windowed mode to persist, but it does not.

Scaled mode isn't exactly a special-case of windowed mode. It's supposed to be used as a lightweight kiosk-mode with simplified interface VM window which is always resized to host-screen size independent of actual guest-screen size (thus not keeping horizontal/vertical aspect ratios). This mode isn't designed to be used with menu-bar or status-bar. If you want having normal windowed mode with guest-screen scaled up keeping aspect ratio, menu-bar and status-bar - you could just use View menu scale-factor options instead.
