All,

Odd thing just started happening on my work machine. When I close a window (Not a full screen application, just chrome, word, ect), The menu bar will just disappear from the top of the screen. I need to click on the desktop, and it reappears.

Anyone see anything similar? Running 10.8.2 here.

It's been there since Lion...
 
Same thing here for me. When i restart or open my mac air, the menu bar on top is always missing. When i open any application, it appears.. Magic!
 
Same here, happened sometimes on Lion too, but it happens all the time on ML.
 
Sorry for the bump, but I have this issue too. I previously had a few macs with ML installed, and this issue happened rarely, if ever. I just got a new rMBP today, and the menu bar disappears nearly every single time I switch application windows. Hopefully 10.8.3 fixes this.

Just got my 15" rMBP today and checked MacRumors to see if it was a common issue. It appears it's not just me.
 
Just got the new MBA for my gf as well. At first I thought something was wrong with the new computer because this never happened with my MBP running ML. Glad to see it's common. But if its been around since 10.8.2 I wonder if Apple is going to address it?
 
Just received my brand new 2013 13" MBA. Only upgrade is 8GB of RAM. On 10.8.4. This is happening to me as well.
 
This just happened to me too –*and I think I may have an idea why.

Watching Netflix full screen on Chrome, then closed the laptop to put it to sleep. When I opened it later, the browser window was no longer full screen and both menu bar and dock weren't showing or popping up when hovered over.
Only clicking desktop or Cmd+Tabbing to Finder brings it back.

Tried 1) Force Quit ––> Relaunch Finder and 2) Terminal ––> killall Finder, and neither works.

Is there an "Always On Top" toggle (or keyboard shortcut) somewhere in Finder that we've all accidentally triggered?
