I have updated the bug description to more closely follow the SRU
template. Because qtmir suffixed with -4 is already in Ubuntu 26.10 and
because "ubuntu0.1" isn't required by SRU policy as far as I can tell, I
prefer to use the simpler ubuntu1 format. However, I have reuploaded
with the requested version number.

** Description changed:

- Drop-down menus (such as in the menu bar or in combo boxes) don't show
- for xwayland apps in Lomiri. You can still open menu items with the
- keyboard if you know how many down arrow presses you need before
- pressing enter.
+ Impact
+ ------
+ Drop-down menus (such as in the menu bar or in combo boxes) don't show for 
xwayland apps in Lomiri. You can still open menu items with the keyboard if you 
know how many down arrow presses you need before pressing enter.
  
  Test Case
  ---------
  If you are using GNOME Boxes, virt-manager or qemu, you need to enable 3D 
Acceleration. See https://wiki.debian.org/Lomiri
  
  1. From Ubuntu Desktop 26.04 LTS,
+ 
  sudo apt install lomiri gtk-3-examples
+ 
  When asked to choose between gdm3 and lightdm, it's ok to choose gdm
+ 
  2. Log out.
  3. Click your name on the login screen. Click the gear button and select 
Lomiri. Enter your password to finish logging in.
  4. You may need to hold the Windows key to show the sidebar and app launcher 
the first time you log in.
  5. Open a terminal and run
  GDK_BACKEND_X11 gtk3-demo
- ````
  
  Run any of the demos. Verify that drop down menus work correctly.
+ 
+ Where problems could occur
+ --------------------------
+ qtmir is only used by Lomiri which is not an official Ubuntu desktop flavor. 
The minimal patches needed to fix this bug are applied. This fixes a critical 
bug for people who use Lomiri and want or need to use one of the affected apps.
  
  Affected apps
  -------------
  - Google Chrome and Chromium still use xwayland by default
  - Several apps that try to run the entire gui with elevated privileges appear 
to use xwayland and are affected. Synaptic (.deb package manager), gparted, 
calamares
  - Most other apps using gtk3, gtk4, qt 5, or qt 6 aren't affected by default
