Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter Zen Mode
2. Open a New Window (Or Recent Project)
3. Check if Menu Bar exists. On my screen it doesn't exist
4. I tried exiting Zen Mode on the new Window but that didn't help.
I did find a workaround, which is to enter Full Screen Mode using F11 or ALT (to show the View menu option, then select Fullscreen). Once you enter fullscreen mode, you can hit the maximize button to turn it back into a regular window.
