Description Rokas Kupstys 2017-04-20 09:23:26 UTC

Some applications cause global menu to be not cleared when switching to application that does not export a global menu.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open firefox (does not export global menu)
2. Open rambox ( https://github.com/saenzramiro/rambox/ ) (does export global menu)
3. Switch to firefox. Global menu still displays menu from rambox.

Few other things to note - rambox global menu is not clickable for some reason. Switching global menu to a button does allow opening the menu but clicking any of the items does not work. Rambox is electron application so it might be related.

P.S. i do have appmenu-qt4 package installed, if it is of any relevance.

This part is a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376476 (which is an Electron bug).

The original issue reported here (global menu not updated) is probably caused by the same Electron bug.

Ah, and the Electron bugreport is https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/8455

Upstream Electron issue, yeah. :)
