I'm seeing a glitch with all Racket combo fields when run in Linux Mint 19.3.
When you click on the popup menu, it just flashes open for an instant and then
disappears, the first item becomes selected without actually clicking on it
with the mouse, and the callback is triggered. If you hold the mouse button
down rather than just clicking, then you are able to make a selection.
However, this isn't intuitive to a typical user. Running a simple example,
like below, gives the error shown below when run from Terminal. I don't see
the error message in DrRacket but the problem is the same. The glitch does not
occur in macOS. I'm guessing that this is a GTK bug rather than a Racket bug
but that's just a guess. Is there something that can be done in Racket or is
this something that needs to be fixed in Linux?
Error message:
