handle car -or- handlebar
candy bar -or- candybar
lum bar -or- lumbar
Seriously, though. I would not write menubar, just as I would not write
formattingbar or standardbar or tablesbar and bordersbar.
Now, if we were writing German I might well string all of the nouns
together to form a single word. Jedoch auf englisch würde ich "menu
toolbar" oder "menu bar" schreiben.
