With the background you listed I will guess that you are running
gnome-terminal.  Obviously this doesn't have anything to do with bash
since bash isn't a graphical terminal application but is simply one of
the many applications that you might choose to run in the graphical
terminal.

Several comments that might help you anyway, off-topic though they
are.  The easiest is to right click on gnome-terminal to bring up the
application menu and select Show Menubar again.  Another is that F11
is the normal keyboard shortcut to toggle fullscreen mode in GNOME
applications and is accessible even when the menubar has been turned
off.  Also in many window managers ALT-TAB may be used to cycle
between applications and will also probably be available.  All of this
depending up the specific window manager you are actually using.

That seems reasonable suggestion to make to your terminal program
author as a configurable option.
