When I activate some panel layouts I've found that the menu and contextual menus don't populate as expected. This is not for all applications but it seems it might be just those using QT.
Two affected applications I've noticed this with:
KeepassX (note that KeepassXC is fine)
QCad
The panel layouts that DO NOT show the menu are:
Contempary
Familiar
Redmond
Traditional
The panel layouts that DO show the menu are:
Cupertino
Mutiny
NetBook
Pantheon
I am running Ubuntu 19.10 with the latest updates as of now.
This is running on an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8600K CPU @ 3.60GHz with a Nvidia - GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with the nvidia-driver-435.
I can't reproduce this issue with a fresh install of Ubuntu Mate 19.10 and applying all the updates.
Any ideas on what I can do to resolve this without re-installing? This wouldn't be a huge deal but would be nice to know why this is happening.
The menu bar itself is fine. The problem is when I click on any of the menu bar items and the population of the dropdown menu text in the aforementioned panels.
I have the adapta theme enabled here but I've tried changing to the default themes.
I've discovered I'm only affected by this issue when I have an additional screen plugged into my graphics card.
As it happens I've always had problems with my multi-monitor set up. My primary screen is a 24" DELL and the secondary screen is a 40" Samsung TV which is used for multi-media only. Despite having the DELL set-up as the default/primary screen some applications (git kraken was a prime example) will still default to opening on the secondary screen.
Now I'm wondering if KeepassX is trying to create the menu dropdown on the secondary screen. The menu is not there but the application definitely does something as the bevahiour changes as though it's waiting for a selection until I press ESC.
