SUMMARY
The Global Menu widget renders 2 varying menus when activated via keyboard

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Place a Global Menu widget. This bug can be reproduced on both panel &
desktop.
2. Right-click the widget and select *Configure Global Menu...*
3. Appearance → Enable *Use single button for application menu*
4. Keyboard shortcuts → Set the shortcut, any will do.
5. Open an app with an application menu. e.g. Dolphin
6. Activate the widget with the selected keyboard shortcut. Observe both menu
OBSERVED RESULT
Once the widget has been activated, observe the rendering of 2 menus with
varying style & behaviour.

single menu.
