qml: menu not showing

[gwenzek]

issue moved from limetext/support#5

Hey, I'm interested in contributing.
But I'm surprised by the look of the qml frontend versus the code.

For instance in main.qml there is a menu bar.
But when I launch it, I don't have any menus (it's neither on the top of the screen like for other linux app).

Is this normal ?

As a warmup task I wanted to try to replace the 'xx' and 'yy' in the status bar by the actual coordinates.
Do you think it's a good start, or it may reveal harder than it looks like ?

Answer from @zoli :

About the menu its not normal the menu was showing before
I'll look at that later and about the status bar i think you are starting at good point because you can get help from limetext/lime#487
also there was an issue for qml to in limetext/lime#486 and the code for the termbox front end is here.

Checked this on my system the menu is showing maybe this is ubuntu related issue.

Apparently there is a bug in an ubuntu package

robotology/yarp#521 suggest this workaround:

sudo apt-get remove --purge appmenu-qt5
