Hi, KDE devs, I have 2 computers with both KDE 5.9.4 installed. Both of them can produce this issue. So I think I have to file this bug. (Although 1 of them behave correctly with first few session, but problem happens later.) Step to reproduce: 1. Add an "Application Menu Bar" to current desktop. 2. Go to "System Settings" -> "Application Style" -> "Widget Style" -> "Fine Tuning" 3. Set Menubar style to "Application menu widget." Expected result: Menu shows up in Global Menu widget. Actual result: The menu persists in their own windows. I couldn't help but to think this is related to configuration, which can be always produced by me somehow. But unfortunately, I can't narrow them down. Are there any configuration files I should provide you for reference?
What Qt version do you have installed? It requires at least Qt 5.7 (preferably 5.7.1.). Can you check whether the application menu service is enabled (System Settings → Startup and Shutdown → Background services, in the bottom list "App menu service") With what applications does it not work or is it all of them?
Hi, Thanks for quick reply! both machine have QT 5.7.1 installed, with part of qt 4.8.7 along side. If you meant "Application menus daemon," yes, they are both enabled on 2 machines. All of KDE5 apps so far are not working, including Gwenview, Konsole, Dolphin.
Interesting. Can you check if your ~/.config/kdeglobals includes the following entry: [Appmenu Style] Style=Widget Is the global menu widget placed on the desktop or in a panel? Also, please check with qdbusviewer if there is a org.kde.kappmenu and a com.canonical.AppMenu.Registrar service registered on the session bus. Is your plasma-integration package up to date (probably also 5.9.4 I guess) and is it loaded (e.g. do you get Breeze style in applications and the KDE "file open" dialog rather than a ugly Qt fallback)? If all of this is true, then I'm frankly quite out of ideas why it doesn't work for you :/
Hi, Thank you again, The file from both machines do include the snippet. After installing qdbusviewer, I have discovered both com.canonical.AppMenu.Registrar & org.kde.kappmenu normally. The plasma-integration version, according to portage record, is also at 5.9.4. Gwenview's file-open can show me a file open dialog with dolphin-like sidebar. So I guess it's the KDE's file-open dialog. I have a very small home environment right now on 1 of the machine. Do you think it can help by providing the whole home directory?
Created attachment 104836 [details] Affected home directory This is the minimal home directory which reproduce this bug for me. Hope it can help in any manner.
Thanks a lot. At a glance I can't find anything unusual in your home directory. I'll need to try using that as home when I find time to do so.
Hi, Thank you for reaching out. Feel free to ask anything else if needed anytime. Wish you good bug hunting.
Hi, sir I can actually provide a account which reproduce this issue for you to do remote login. If you need me to setup remote login tools like teamviewer or anything, please do not hesitate to contact me. I really wish I can do something more to help resolve this issue.
Hi! I have exactly same problem with Neon. It worked until I upgraded to 5.9 and still not work on 5.10. - The funny is that non-plasma5 apps shows their menu up, like chromium for example. If I switch "Menubar style" to "In application", the GlobalMenu widget see it and shows exclamation mark. If I switch back to "Application Menu Widget", it removes the warning, but menu still not work for plasma5 apps. I tried create new, blank user account, but does not work too.

Hi, Tamás Gere Just being curious, do you have qt5ct installed? Both of my 2 machines can behave normally after removing qt5ct. But I can't explain why.

Hi! Well, my problem suddenly solved after a bigger update (maybe with frameworks 5.35.0 or applications 17.04.2). Maybe this was an other bug's implication, or whatever. I'm using qt5ct and still using it... so that wasn't in my case.
Closing - as it's resolved after update
