19766	Admin bar should be able to be turned off in admin area	ericlewis		"In reference to [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18197], Nacin added a patch that enforces the admin bar on when in the admin area. This invalidates part of the utility of show_admin_bar(), which can be used to change whether the admin bar will be shown via modifying the global $show_admin_bar. Plugin authors may find themselves in a situation that they wanted to do away with the admin bar, even in the admin area, as BuddyPress did until this changeset.

This logic is held within is_admin_bar_showing() (admin-bar.php:710). Currently if is_admin() returns true is_admin_bar_showing returns true. I'm suggesting adding an AND condition to validate against the global $show_admin_bar as well, which is what this global is intended to be used for. 

Although I found this bug while working with BuddyPress, I feel that the utility may be applicable in other situations, and keeping WP more flexible than less flexible is a good idea."	defect (bug)	closed	normal		UI	3.3.1	normal	wontfix
