[Bug 1719312] [NEW] qtcreator main menu invisible/inaccessible after ui designer session

 

Public bug reported:

As soon as I edit the ui designer page of qtcreator, the title menu
becomes invisible and inaccessible. It does not even reappear after I
leave ui designer page, a window resize also doesn't help, restarting
qtcreator brings everything back to normal until I enter ui design mode
the next time.

No obvious error messages are shown if I start and run qtcreator from the command line. The system is fully updated and uses stock version of all relevant binaries, libraries, and config files. 
The command 'lsb_release -rd' returns:
Description:	Ubuntu 17.04
Release:	17.04

The command 'apt-cache policy qtcreator' returns:
qtcreator:
  Installed: 4.1.0-3ubuntu1
  Candidate: 4.1.0-3ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 4.1.0-3ubuntu1 500
        500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


The problem already exists with minimal projects, i.e. I can reproduce it by starting qtcreator, creating a new 'QT Widgets Application', using the default values in all further input fields until the project is created, then double clicking on mainwindow.ui in the file browser on the left hand side. As soon as the ui designer has started, the menu is gone until the next restart of qtcreator.

Expected behavior: regardless of UI actions I have a fully populated
menu in the title bar which becomes visible as soon as I hover the mouse
pointer over the title bar of the qtcreator window.

Observed behavior: after performing the actions stated above, I still
have a window title bar with window manager decoration, the qtcreator
menu, however, is gone.
