The status quo in the Emacs manual favors two words, also for related
terms:

$ grep -i menubar emacs.info | wc -l
27
$ grep -i menu-bar emacs.info | wc -l
14
$ grep -i "menu bar" emacs.info | wc -l
80
$ grep -i scrollbar emacs.info | wc -l
10
$ grep -i scroll-bar emacs.info | wc -l
19
$ grep -i "scroll bar" emacs.info | wc -l
72
$ grep -i toolbar emacs.info | wc -l
3
$ grep -i tool-bar emacs.info | wc -l
8
$ grep -i "tool bar" emacs.info | wc -l
48

(Though as Ralph Waldo Emerson (I think) said, consistency is the
hobgoblin of small minds.  Or is that "hob-goblin" or "hob goblin"?)
