Title: Menu bar/Console
Post by: paulocandel on January 24, 2020, 01:01:11 PM
Hello,

After setting up my Electrum Wallet I realized it does not have a menu bar (File - Wallet - Tools - Help). Therefore, I am not able to open the Console, the only tabs I am able to see are: History, Send and Receive.

Any suggestion regarding how to open de Console or showing the menu bar?

Thanks in advance!

If you are using Ubuntu (or Mac OS), this should be the solution to your problem: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/frequently-asked-questions/#why-is-the-electrum-menu-bar-missing-on-ubuntu

Hmmm, can you try clicking tools and see if it gives you an option to show the addresses and what happens to the tabbing at the top?

How can he possibly click Tools, when it’s one of the options he misses ???

I have never used Electrum on Linux, but a similar problem seems to exist on OS X, maybe the following post may help :

Windows = Toolbars are on the top of the window itself, so if you make the window small and move it to the lower right corner, your tool bar will be attached to that little window.

Mac = Toolbars are ALWAYS on the upper left hand side of the ENTIRE SCREEN. Regardless of the size of the window. You must also SELECT the window (by clicking on it once and having it open on the top of all other windows) in order for the tool bard to show up on the upper left hand corner of the screen. (This is next to the Apple button that you click to "Shut Down")

The OP's OS must be MacOS, Ubuntu does not behave that way.
