Open, NormalPublic

Description

When a layout preset is selected, newly created render windows do not have the menus that appear when hovering over the window. These menus only show up in windows that were set by the manual layout selection grid.

In a certain sense, the bug would be fixed by making sure the menus are present when the layout changes.
However, it might make sense to rethink the usefulness of these menus in the MxN context, since many features are not usable anyway (e.g. rotation).
The layout management of the rightmost menu can still be used, but might need heavy extension for useful usage. We might redesign it entirely, to make it more general for Std- and MxN-view, or remove it from MxN on purpose.
