You may want to look (although we are not adding back support for 3.18) at Menu.gtk_hide/show as there is code guarded with OS.ubuntu_menu_proxy_get() != 0 - the work there might not be needed or not enough after changes in the menu proxy Ubuntu installs. > > Thanks for your input, > Jonah > > ~~~ > Jonah Graham > Kichwa Coders > www.kichwacoders.com > > > On Thu, 12 Mar 2020 at 05:12, Aleksandar Kurtakov <akurt...@redhat.com> > wrote: > >> Hey everyone, >> SWT min Gtk version is going to be bumped again this release (to require >> Gtk 3.20+).
