Mousepad under Wayland - some menu bars don't open the item that is clicked on

    KDE claims this is a downstream problem, but I'm not so sure because it affects multiple applications.

        So you click on Help in this situation, and nothing happens? In fact, simply moving the cursor to Help should cause the menu to follow. I suppose that if there's a problem “on our side”, it's more likely to be with the toolkit, i.e. GTK.

        A few questions:

        • Is it reproducible with a compositor other than KDE's (I can't reproduce this with labwc or wayfire)?
        • Is it reproducible with another Xfce application, such as thunar or ristretto or xfce4-terminal?
        • Is it reproducible with another non-Xfce GTK application, such as gedit or gnome-terminal (no menu bar in this case, though...)?
        • Is it reproducible with Qt apps (vlc, qbittorrent...)?

        It is reproducible with Xournal++, sublime text, MyPaint, Thunar so I'm not sure which toolkit is the one having issues, unless there is multiple. I have not seen this problem mentioned on any other DE. As for a compositor I have not tested anything but the KDE default.

        There has to be menu bar to experience the bug, so it can't happen in gedit and other applications without a traditional menu bar.
