--- Comment #6 from Miranda <mira...@xyla.net> ---
I can confirm this bug... it is pretty awful for productivity. I use Quartus
Prime Lite and any time you open some kind of child window in the app, the
global menu disappears and does not come back when the window closes. The only
way to get it to come back is to switch focus away from the app and back again.
A couple of important details about this bug:
1. This bug is WAYLAND ONLY. X11 still works correctly. But at this point we
are kind of all being forced into Wayland so that's not very helpful anymore.
2. Focus follows mouse and its variations are not affected by the bug because
the global menu is seemingly automatically restored by the mouse's focus. So
people using FFM won't be noticing what a show stopper this bug is.
3. The global menu seems to be disappearing because it is somehow losing
connection with the focused app. In the distribution Garuda KDE Dr460nized
(which I am using) the global menu is set up to display the application name,
and when nothing is focused (i.e. by clicking on the desktop) it just displays
the name "Dr460niszed KDE". When the global menu disappears, it always says
the focused app name is just "Dr460niszed KDE".
4. Related to #3: There is a less severe symptom of the bug which is probably
going unnoticed by most. Some apps will restore the global menu after closing
a child window, but Garuda Linux does not update the focused app name in the
global menu. For example Gimp normally says "GNU Image Manipulation Program"
in front of the menu options ("File Edit" etc..) but after the bug occurs it
will still have it's menu options but will say "Dr460nized KDE" instead.
Further clarification on #1:
It looks llke the menu disappears maybe because child windows do not have
global menu options directly associated with them. This is a Wayland-only
behaviour. In X11 sessions, the global menu never changes when a child window
with no global menu options appears, it consistently shows the main application
global menu options.
Hopefully these details help to get this bug fixed as quickly as possible. For
testing I recommend installing Quartus Prime Lite, it's the most unusable thing
I'm trying to use at the moment with this bug. Open the application then try
to open a settings/options child window from the global menu (for example:
Tools > Options...)
