[Bug] Menus in TheIDE not drawn properly [message #37468]

Greetings, U++ folks!

I've just built upp-x11-src-5418.tar.gz on Tiny Core Linux. Unfortunately, it is unusable, since menus did not seem to work in TheIDE.

However, after reducing the window size, I found that the menus seem to be drawn behind the main window. This affects pop-up menus (with right mouse click) and the normal menus from the menu bar. See also the screenshot (note that the artefact at the bottom is unrelated to the menu bug in TheIDE).

I am still new to Linux. Could I have done anything wrong when building? I also noticed the same behaviour earlier with 5406, which was my first try. However, with that latter one, there were some dependencies missing that I had to install after the make process failed, and so it was essentially a piecewise build process and I thought that that might have caused the misbehaviour. For 5418 though, I had installed that missing dependencies that I remembered prior to building and it worked without interruption. So now I think it could be a bug.

Rather something wrong when choosing distro Smile

Well, the thing with Linux is that it is using a variety of windows managers, each with its own set of implementation specifics and bugs. Add to that somewhat ambiguous documentation of X11 and sometimes the result is menu behind the window...

At this point all we can do is to make sure that U++ works on major distros... So my position is that if it works fine with Ubuntu, it is Tiny Core Linux bug (until they point us out what we are doing wrong).
