Description Frank Steinmetzger 2022-09-17 12:34:50 UTC

SUMMARY
I just noticed that I can’t navigate to submenus in the cascading menu anymore. I can only go up and down on the main menu level and open a submenu with cursor right, but while the visible selection mark enters the menu, the actual focus does not. Instead, pressing up/down still changes the top-level menu selection.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press <Meta> to open the menu.
2. Use cursor up/down to select a menu.
3. Press cursor right to open a submenu. The first item of the submenu is highlighted.

OBSERVED RESULT
Selection focus stays in the top level. Pressing up/down when the submenu item is highlighted still selects a new menu here instead. If the highlighted submenu item is a menu item itself, pressing cursor right again does not enter its subsubmenu. Observed under both X11 and Wayland.

EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor navigation should be restored to the original and intuitive behavior.

Correction: I’m back in X11 and I can’t reproduce it there.
