Unreal Engine 5.4 Release Notes:

> Move the macOS main menu into the editor window.

This change feels like a slap in the face for Mac users. Please continue utilizing the menu bar instead of cramming the menus inside the window and wasting vertical screen space, the menu bar is there for a reason.

I’m experiencing this issue in both UE 5.4 and UE 5.4.1. Have you been able to find a solution to this problem? It’s very frustrating!

I’m, not sure why they would make this change. But I, also would like to use the MacOS’s Menu Bar rather than the integrated Editor one on MacOS.
