As clarification, this bug report is related to widget Active Window Control ( https://store.kde.org/p/998910/ )

The active window control applet is part of openSUSE Tumbleweed and you should install from there, not from store.kde.org. It needs to be compiled to have all functions. When you use the version from the Tumbleweed repo, all should work fine.

(Of course, this applet does not seems to be developed anymore, so it is available until it breaks.)

That's the version i'm using and it does not shows the Application menu.
Also, i thought that active window control was now part of KDE's Plasma (and not an "independent" applet)

It has moved to the kde infrastructure, nothing more as far as I know. SeeL

https://phabricator.kde.org/source/plasma-active-window-control/

Tumbleweed has the latest git version with two additional patches and for me it is working fine. I am the maintainer of that package in openSUSE. I cannot reproduce this.

I had the idea (from the github's text: https://github.com/kotelnik/plasma-applet-active-window-control ) that it was becoming part of KDE, but you're probably right about it!

Anyway, in my TW, the menu does not show!
maybe there's a problem with my system... (it's also EXTREMELY slow as well, so probably there's something wrong around here)

Any clue or idea how to fix it / maybe reset the plasmoid...

Removing the plasmoid from the panel and adding it again resets it for me.

You can also try a new account with empty kde setting to see if something has messed up your settings.

You should also try Plasma's own applet for application menu, to see if it is a general problem with the appmenu.

No, plasma's appmenu work like a charm! Only active window control has this problem...

will remove and reinstall to see if it fixes it...

Nop... no luck.

Application Menu does not show!

I can confirm the same issue on my system. The interesting thing is that when I first removed and added the applet, the menu started working briefly. But it stopped working again and now removing/adding or even reinstallation doesn't help at all.
I'm using Arch and latest git version of the applet from AUR, but I'm not sure if that build contains all the latest patches.

I must add that plasma app menu shows for me, but I just noticed that it crashes sometimes. So, it's possible that there's a regression in global menu that causes both issues. On the other hand it maybe isn't connected at all.

*** Bug 421124 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

This software is abandoned. Should we not close this as will not be fixed. It has been removed from openSUSE.

Workaround if downloading this applet with Discover.  Edit `~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.activeWindowControl/contents/ui/AppMenu.qml` with the following change:

-                 import org.kde.private.activeWindowControl 1.0 as ActiveWindowControlPrivate;\
+                 import org.kde.plasma.private.appmenu 1.0 as ActiveWindowControlPrivate;\
