[Bug 1284221] [NEW] Shouldn't it be "menu bar" rather than "top bar"?

 

Public bug reported:

The new "Application Menu" UI in "System Settings -> Appearance ->
Behavior" refers to the "top bar". I thought it was decided that the
name of the thing is "menu bar". The desktop guide currently uses "menu
bar" all over.

https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/unity-menubar-intro.html

I suppose it ought to be changed to "menu bar" in u-c-c for consistency
reasons (even if I personally think that "top bar" would have been more
clear).

Adding the ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) task as a reminder of the need to
include something in the docs about the new feature.
