            Bug ID: 768017
           Summary: [Wayland] menus opened from access keys (mnemonic menu
                    items) hide instantly
    Classification: Platform
           Product: gtk+
           Version: 3.20.x
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Backend: Wayland
          Assignee: gtk-bugs at gtk.org
          Reporter: gnome at genodeftest.de
        QA Contact: gtk-bugs at gtk.org
                CC: rob at robster.org.uk, wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

Steps to reproduce:
0. have a wayland compositor, e.g. weston or gnome-wayland session
1. open any Gtk+ 3.x application with "old" menus (see "Affected applications"
below)
2. use any mnemonic to open a menu

What happens:
Menu shows with animation. Once the animation is finished (<1 second) the menu
hides.

What should happen:
menu should be shown until it loses focus or [Esc] is pressed

Affected applications:
* gnome-terminal
* evolution
* anjuta
* libreoffice (recent Gtk+ 3 builds, default on Fedora 24)
* probably others

This issue does not affect these types of applications:
* Qt 4 or 5 based applications
* Gtk+ 2 based applications
* firefox (drawing its own menu bar)
* Gtk+ 3 based applications with menus based on GtkPopover (e.g. epiphany,
gedit)
* Gtk+ 3 based applications with X11 backend (even on gnome-wayland sessions)

This issue is also present when running Gtk+ 3 applications inside weston, but
it is specific to the wayland backend.

This issue is present whether or not animations are enabled. With animations
disabled you can barely see that the menu was opened.

Workaround:
Start applications with GDK_BACKEND=x11 added to environment when running a
gnome-wayland session or run X11 sessions.
