When using the Plasma-Wayland session, the global menu does not work. It simply leaves the place where it usually shows the menues empty. When I try to enter the Settings of global menu by right klicking on the place where it usually (under XCB) is and the klicking on "Settings for global menu", I get a black screen and cant interact with my Neon installation untill I restart it. These two things make it impossible for me to use global-menu under wayland. Im using KDE-Neon User edition and the Plasma 5.11.1 Desktop. KDE-Frameworks are Version 5.39.0 Im Using Qt-Version 5.9.1 Kernel : 4.10.0-37-generic Its a Lenovo T420 and I have never had any driver issues cause its an old modell.
Same here on latest plasma version under Archlinux. I've not experienced the black screen (need to try that). But no global menu shown on Plasma on Wayland session. It shows OK when under regular Plasma session...
Title bar menu button should work (the menu will be misplaced, though) but for the applet some additional protocols are needed, as it cannot know what window is the active one and cannot randomly read properties from them.
So, is it some missing implementation in plasma or just some Waland missing returned info ? Anyway, when I decided to go for a mature Waland experience, I wasn't aware of this limitation. I think it should have been more openly explained. Because there are other few minor "regressions" when using Waland session...
Yes, there are definitely still issues, which is why bug reports are valuable. Thanks for being a part of the solution!
Still the same on KDE Plasma 5.12 :(
Same here. I tried setting Style=In application in kdeglobals (both under/usr/share and under $HOME/.config but didn't work. Also the configuration drop down is missing from systemsettings. So even though rest of KDE is working smooth as under Wayland, it is unusable due to the missing menu bar. I've seen the same behaviour across Ubuntu, opensuse, arch and now nitrux. Cheers.
Fix needed on Plasma side or Wayland side ? Anyone from Plasma devs with a clue ?
I just, accidentally, changed the version of this bug. I meant to edit the bug I reported but I had two tabs opened and edited this by mistake. Sorry.
This problem still happens in OpenSuSE Leap 15.

Global Menu in titlebar is working - with misplased menus, there is no black screen when entering Panel Global Menu widget settings - and both radio buttons in the settings window (Use singe button... and Show full app menu) are disabled Distribution: KDE neon Developer Edition Kernel: 4.15.0-29-generic Plasma: 5.13.80 Apps: 18.11.70 Qt: 5.11.1 Frameworks: 5.48.0
With Plasma-Wayland session, working with misplaced menus in titlebar (as button) but not showing in Latte Dock panel. Plasma 5.13.4 KDE Frameworks 5.48.0 Qt 5.11.1 KDE Applications 18.04.3 Arch Linux up-to-date Kernel 4.17.14-arch1
this still doesnt work or show anything at all just a plank space with either a plasma panel or latte dock panel Distro: Manjaro linux Plasma: 5.13.5 KDE Framework: 5.50.0 QT: 5.11.2 Kernel: 4.18.11-manjaro
Still global menu doesn't appear on Wayland Session, Plasma 5.14.1 on KDE Neon
Still global menu doesn't appear on Wayland Session, Plasma 5.15.2 on KDE Neon
Confirmed, still no global menu on KDE plasma session on KDE 5.15.4 (tested with Wayland session on Kubuntu 19.04). The menu simply stays blank.
Still no global menu on KDE Plasma 5.16.0 (on Kubuntu 19.04), the global menu stays blank in the Wayland session
Created attachment 121655 [details] The Global Menu does not work on Plasma on Wayland. The Global Menu does not work on Plasma on Wayland. In fact, several menu related function do not work or are buggy.
Same here (Kubuntu 19.04, Plasma 5.16.3, Frameworks 5.59.0, Qt 5.12.2). It worked on X11. I installed Wayland using 'sudo apt install plasma-workspace-wayland'. In fact, several other menu-related functions do not work (see screenshot).
Confirm again. Under Manjaro testing. With latte-dock. Apart from that, Wayland experience seems to be pretty smooth.
Unchanged using: KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0 Qt Version: 5.13.2
I also experience this issue. Everything works correctly on Plasma, but not Plasma Wayland. Of interest is there is a little menu button in the left hand corner of each window. When clicking that it opens a small window with each of the menu options. Clicking on sub menus opens up additional windows. Operating System: KDE neon Testing Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.66.0 Qt Version: 5.13.2 Kernel Version: 4.15.0-74-generic OS Type: 64-bit
Global menu still doesn't work on stable Plasma 5.18, but works on unstable Plasma 5.18.80 under Wayland (latest neon Unstable). Some menu items may work incorrect, global menu may not appear when first launch of some application (you should launch application, then collapse its window and maximize window again). But it works.

Same bug on mageia plasma but SOLVED changing color bit from 16 Bit to 24 Bit the Global Menu showed !
The global application menu has been working under Wayland for a while now with the following patches: https://phabricator.kde.org/D27464, https://phabricator.kde.org/D28168, https://phabricator.kde.org/D28150, https://phabricator.kde.org/D28112, https://phabricator.kde.org/D27959, https://phabricator.kde.org/D27818, and https://phabricator.kde.org/D28146

But it works. Sorry for the noise! But which repo are you referring to? I have "user/ bionic main" and "dev/stable/ bionic main" enabled on my system, but the most recent available version is 4:5.18.5+p18.04+git20200511.1626-0.
You need Neon Unstable or Neon Developer Edition to get the 'master' versions of KDE software. Some other distributions might also offering repositories (e.g. openSUSE has KDE:Unstable:* repos). It is best to ask on a mailing list or forum of your distribution.

I used LiveCD of Neon Developer Edition (this can be seen in the screenshot attached by me). If you want to see how global menu now works under Wayland, just use LiveCD of neon Dev edition (with reboot into session under Wayland). There is no Plasma 5.18.80+ version in most distros (even in unstable repos).

Ok thanks! I thought there was some repo I could steal some packages out of. I'll just wait for the release then. :-)
