Bug ID: 496919
Summary: Global menu: Not working properly with our Qt app's
dynamic menus
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.2.3
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Global Menu
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Our Linux Qt app, the MusE Sequencer DAW, does not work properly with the
global menu.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Install MusE package or build, https://github.com/muse-sequencer/muse
Run MusE to see what's happening.
OBSERVED RESULT
Global menu is only partially populated, missing several menus.
EXPECTED RESULT
Global menu is fully populated with all menus.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0
Qt Version: 6.8.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Hello, according to https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Environment_Variables
under KDE_NO_GLOBAL_MENU, it says I should report misbehaving apps here.
I hope you don't mind this Qt app.
MusE uses a sort of hybrid MDI and tabbed window system.
MDI to get a single shared menu bar, and tabbed windows to economize on space.
MusE uses dynamic menus. That is, the main window menu bar changes dynamically
according which tabbed window is currently visible. Thus at different times
the
main window menu bar is populated with different menus and items.
In other words, MusE is already doing what Global Menu wants to do -
one main window menu for all windows.
Thus I suspect they are kind of counteracting and fighting each other.
I have not delved deep into the issue, but I suspect that KDE Global Menu
doesn't
like our custom dynamic menu system, since the menu bar(s) keep changing.
Does this bug make sense, that is, Global Menu cannot support such dynamic
menus?
Or is there something wrong with our app and Global Menu should be fine?
MusE works fine with the KDE_NO_GLOBAL_MENU environment variable set.
Maybe I could try setting the variable from within the app to make it a
permanent
thing for users, instead of having to put it on the command line.
Thanks for your consideration.
