Sigil 2.3.0 on W10 loses the menu bar

In the past few days, I've noticed that Sigil sometimes loses its menu bar if left unattended for some (undefined at present) time.

I work with two desktops, one on linux and the other on Windows 10. They share a screen, keyboard and trackball via a KVM switch. The W10 box is only a couple of years old and W10 is kept up to date. More than 90% of the time, I'm on the linux box.

I first noticed that the menu bar had gone after I switched back to linux for half an hour or so and then went back to W10. Subsequently, however, I have had the menu bar disappear when the W10 box is the active box and I've been called away for maybe 20 minutes. On return, I find the screensaver has kicked in and Sigil has lost its menu bar. This is not systematic, however. The screensaver kicks in after 10 minutes.

It doesn't seem to matter if the Sigil virtual desktop is active or not. I have just had three instances of Sigil running in 3 virtual desktops - I switched to the linux box and went back to W10 after about 40 minutes and all 3 instances had lost their menu bar.

There doesn't appear to be an easy way to restore the menu bar, which doesn't appear to be an optionally viewed item.

I can't say I was aware of any similar behaviour on earlier versions of Sigil.
