Qt Creator toolbar doesn't appear

Question

I can't see the file, edit, Build, Debug, Tools, Window and Help buttons in Qt's IDE, and I dont know why. Maybe there is a key combination like ctrl + (a letter or number) to show it, or maybe a problem with the installation.

Specs/other:

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

GNOME Shell 3.10.4

This is how my IDE looks like, as you see, there is no toolbar.

There is no toolbar!

What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like an issue with Ubuntu's quirky menus. Try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/449250/how-to-get-enable-the-new-locally-integrated-menus-lim-inside-of-the-windows-t — MrEricSir, Aug 01 '14 at 03:01
I'm having the same issue but in XFCE (no titlebar integration apparently) — Mateo Torres, Oct 22 '14 at 15:33

If you use KDE. Try configure KDE. In menu: System Settings > Application Style > Window Decorations > Buttons add Application menu to Title bar. After it, in Qt Creator must appear button with File, Edit, Build.. menu.

Then you have may have to left or right click on the 3-bar menu for it to work the first time. – Doug Royer May 29 '20 at 18:40

On Ubuntu 16.04, I used

and restarted Qt Creator.
