These have been broken with gtk 2.18. Symptoms: Dynamic menus are no longer updated if klicked on with the mouse. They are updated if the menu is opened with F10. Steps to reproduce: - Install e.g. auctex and open a .tex file in Latex mode. - Klick on the menu bar and see the an empty menu. Expected result: - a non-empty menu. Original Report: Subject: Emacs language menus are blank Binary package hint: emacs22 The attached picture should say it all. I have tested C/C++, Python, Erlang and they all show up blank. I've had this problem for a while not (a month or so, maybe?), but I'm not sure exactly when it showed up. I suspected it was just me for a while, but I've tested with blank ~/.emacs.d directory for defaults as well.
