Description

Currently, the menu bar can be hidden by clicking the small arrow facing up in its bottom right corner. The same action, hiding the menu bar, should be performed if a double click on one of the tabs (File, Home, Playback, Edit, Image, Transitions, Statistics) is done.

User benefit

This is a common behaviour for a menu bar like that. Users know this behaviour from programs everyone uses: Windows Explorer and Microsoft Office. So this feature is expected to be there and allows users to easily hide/unhide the menu bar. The tabs are much bigger and easier to reach than the small arrow button.
