Many of you running r12.x may have decided to configure the Quick Profile to be a tab. But after doing so you notice that none of the pages launched from the QP tab contain a menu. This is by design according to CA. TEC490553 states that a child window will have the characteristics of the parent window. In this case, the QP tab is the parent which does not have a menubar. The child is any window that launches from the QP tab, such as an Incident Detail page.

Menubar missing in r12.x
Many of you running r12.x may have decided to configure the Quick Profile to be a tab. But after doing so you notice that none of the pages launched from the QP tab contain a menu. This is by design according to CA. TEC490553 states that a child window will have the characteristics of the parent window. In this case, the QP tab is the parent which does not have a menubar. The child is any window that launches from the QP tab, such as an Incident Detail page. Click here for TEC490553
Test patch T5ON033 has been released to address this issue.
