I just wanted to add my voice to this as well. I use Word for Mac version 16.63.1 on mac OS 12.5, and I recently discovered the mac preferences option to always show the menu bar for full screen apps. It works properly with every application except Word. Even other Office 365 apps work fine (Excel, PowerPoint...). Only in Word is the space for the menu bar properly reserved but the menu itself is hidden except on a mouse-over. This is clearly a bug and is extremely annoying. Microsoft should fix this as soon as possible.

    Hi Robert,

    You are right. This bug is very annoying. Even the time in the menu bar we can not see …. MS: When will you fix it?
