Comment (by xkon):

 My reply, when discussed on the ticket scrubs, was that by default
 WordPress uses a dropdown menu at which everything points to just
 profile.php as well as logout.

 There are plugins that already hook there ( see
 [attachment:"buddypress_usermenu_example.jpg"] ) so completely changing
 the functionality might not be optimal but we might want to reconsider the
 "default state" at least.

 Maybe we could utilize a "default state" of having 2 simple links towards
 the profile and logout without the need of the dropdown and if any plugin
 adds more items on the menu then it could be "converted" to the way it
 currently works?

 Not sure if that would be possible or a perfect solution but it would
 definitely avoid the menu from interfering with actions like the Publish
 mentioned or even the Screen Options / Help that are the usual suspects on
 the far right corner there.

 Re-mentioning this here just to start a discussion on any possible
 improvements :)
