global menu bug

It calls a menu and ignores selection, just calls the same menu again

Global menu is launching in different style by keyboard shortcut - then after clicking on any launched menu section or on global menu panel button - menu  in different styling appears on top of previously launched by keyboard menu

Additional observation: when this happens, the menu is not navigable by keyboard.

Can confirm, shortcut invocation is broken for single button mode. Sometimes it opens something that looks like a tooltip with a single useless button "Global Menu", other times it opens the actual menu as well. However, this is exclusive to a shortcut: Using panel navigation via Meta+Alt+P and activating (e.g. pressing Space or Enter) does the same thing. And, yes, the keyboard navigation is naturally broken is such state, because keyboard focus goes to the weird popup.

Adding Fushan Wen to CC list, because accessibility concerns (including keyboard navigation) are his area of work.
