texanpenguin said: "The menubar should merely move to whichever screen the active document window is on." - and i SHIVER at the thought of it. I would start SCREAMING. I mean: Say you have two or three monitors. The system - with your thought - would become utterly unpredictable. That can't be "it". Let's keep it simple (first rule of interface design, I guess...) and predictable.

Apple has a menubar that's global. And I guess that's why it's on _one_ display, too. It's the master menubar on the master display. I don't think they'd move from that.
