Actually, my "other words" are pretty few. You bet I would have employed a
lot less words if I described this in Spanish, which is the language I
master.

I agree, but some people might argue the name of the document is useful to
know, even on a maximized window. Obviously, on a non-maximized window, the
vanishing menu is pure nonsense, let alone the softly truncated application
name when the menu appears. This behaviour has never been rationally
explained (probably because it can't be) and responds only to some personal
aesthetic preferences (guess who's...).

That's the whole reason this bug exists and is shared by so many people
here... I think the proposed solutions would alleviate the main problem
which you have defined very well. It's still hard to understand why
Canonical/Shuttleworth believes this is a minor or non-issue and keeps
postponing the implementation of a solution (or leaving it up to the
"petulants") that seems to be clearly resolved from a design point of view.
