I would like to restore the horizontal style in-application menu bar in KDE Plasma 5. Somehow I ended up with a single "control" menu item like this:
Using that requires two mouse clicks instead of one.
What I would like is the horizontal style in-application menu (just below the title bar) like this:
What are the steps for switching back?
The other questions on this topic discuss Global Menus, which I do not believe is related to my question about in-application menus. I am not using global (Unity or Mac style) menus.

Pressing CTRL-M does not resolve it. That appears to be a different issue. I have a menu, it's just not the one I want.

I've checked with Dolphin, Kate and Gwenview.
I think the problem is with the ☰ button in your title bar. Its presence suppresses the appearance of the horizontal menu.
Remove it by opening System Settings > Application Style > Window Decorations > Buttons tab and dragging the ☰ button off your title bar into the space below.
In Kate and Gwenview, the horizontal menu now can be toggled on/off with Ctrl+M.
In Dolphin, now Ctrl+M toggles between the horizontal menu and the Control (☰) button.

And it's the same with the Fedora 30 KDE Spin:
