Description
In my .emacs I am enabling rust-mode in the following way:
;; rust mode
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/github/rust-mode/")
(autoload 'rust-mode "rust-mode" nil t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.rs\\'" . rust-mode))
(add-hook 'rust-mode-hook
(lambda () (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)))
(setq rust-format-on-save n)
where ~/github/rust-mode/ is just a fresh clone of this repo.
Then somewhat below that, I am defining 3 extra main menu entries:
;; add menu item: show file path
(define-key-after
(lookup-key global-map [menu-bar file])
[show-file-name]
'("Show path" . show-file-name)
'insert-file)
;; add menu item: delete window
(define-key-after
(lookup-key global-map [menu-bar file])
[delete-window]
'("Delete window" . delete-window)
'new-window-on-right)
;; add menu item: highlight occurences of the symbol at point
(define-key-after
(lookup-key global-map [menu-bar edit])
[highlight-symbol-at-point]
'("Highlight occurences" . highlight-symbol-at-point)
'mark-whole-buffer)
Unfortunately, those 3 extra entries do not appear any more. Not just in Rust mode, but in just about any mode (including Fundamental and Text). If I disable Rust mode by commenting out the entire ;; rust mode snippet, then I can see those 3 extra main menu entries again. What am I doing wrong?
This is:
GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.5)

Research direction
Reproduce the configuration from the issue in GNU Emacs 26.1, first with the rust-mode snippet enabled and then with it commented out. Inspect the rust-mode entry points involved in initialization and menu setup, and determine why the three custom main-menu entries disappear; done means the cause is identified and the behavior is corrected or clearly documented.
