Description
Menu items in the menubar fail to respond properly to editor changes when using Appmenu on Linux desktops. The Appmenu on Linux is a similar approach to how macOS handles application menubars in the top panel from all opened windows.
When using Appmenu on XFCE, all GTK+ applications export their menubars via D-Bus to a desktop panel of your choice, where the menubar is being rendered according the focused window.
To reproduce this:
- Install fresh Debian Sid with XFCE 4.14 and
xfce4-appmenu-plugin. - Enable Appmenu by adding it to one of your desktop panels.
- Open up GPS and see its menubar being exported to the desktop panel.
- Write something, and select some text in the editor.
- Go to Edit, and notice that items like Copy, Cut, Undo, Redo, etc... are disabled.
I forwarded the issue to Appmenu, it would be highly appreciated if you can help us there.
