bugs - Menu commands on Palettes and other windows without menu bars?

Bug introduced in 10.0.0 and persisting through 10.1.0 or later

---

In the Version 10 interface, at least by default, there is no longer a common menu bar in a separate window, and menus appear to be localized to individual Notebook windows. If I select a Palette and attempt to use the menu in an adjacent Notebook, specifically Generate Notebook from Palette, the Palette loses focus and that menu item is disabled.

1. 
   

   Can I restore the common menu bar from earlier versions?

   
   


2. 
   

   If not what is the fastest and simplest way to apply these commands?

   When is the Generate Notebook from Palette item not disabled? I have been unable to use it.
