I have now seen the same behaviour with Beyond Compare.  Oddly, on one occasion
the sticky dropdown went away without me closing the app.  Race condition of
some sort?

Anyhow, it looks to me like a Qt or Mate bug. I'm expecting it to go away when I
upgrade my distro.

Out of curiosity, when a menu sticks, can you dismiss it with the escape 
key?


R/. Don't work this trick, but I see, when I unfold a menu, for example 
in Document --> Settings --> Output --> and finally unfold the menu: 
Default output format, and close the window, appear this menu, and when 
I try for second time, it's seems work fine. I try it for a second one 
and works fine. I don't know what happen.


Ok, great to receive your suggestions and regards. ;-)

Hello Paul,

I have installed the Linux Mint with *MATE enviroment*.

I did the setup and install of LyX throught ppa (release):

I attach to this email, the screenshot of the Issue (for more

Regards and waitting for your response.


   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
