Alejandro,
I'm copying this back to the user list, to keep the conversation visible
to others.
This is a bit perplexing. I've installed the same .deb file you have,
from the same source, on the same OS (Mint Rosa), and not experienced
the persistent menus. The one wrinkle is that, when I was on Rosa, I did
not use MATE; I had Cinnamon on my desktop and Xfce on my laptop.
However, since upgrading Mint to 18.0 Sarah (and subsequently 18.1
Serena), I've had MATE on my desktop, and not had the menu issue.
I no longer have Mint 2.2.2 on either machine (I'm on 2.2.3), but since
we installed the same package from the PPA, I assume we were both using
the same Qt version. I'm not a developer, so I don't know the code base,
but Richard Heck is, and seems to believe the issue would be with Qt. If
so, it would apparently have to involve an interaction with something
external to LyX (CPU timing issue, other application interfering,
gremlins, Russian hackers, ...).
Out of curiosity, when a menu sticks, can you dismiss it with the escape
key?
Paul
