It was all working yesterday but suddenly not today. I've been changing the setup a lot but can't find anything that could have broken this.
If I have any gestures listed in touchegg.conf then if touchegg is running, when I open a Cinnamon menu using the touchscreen - either the actual Cinnamon menu or a menu from the system tray - it appears but is focused behind all other windows (not sure how to put it).
Essentially anything in the new menu that appears is unselectable, both by touchscreen and touchpad if I have opened it using the touchscreen.
Does anyone know why this is? I can post up my bash history if you think it will help to identify the command(s) that broke it. I've had similar touchscreen issues when I was on GNOME (it's the reason I switched to Cinnamon) so my theory is that installing GNOME changes some config which breaks the touchscreen on my laptop/settings. When I installed Cinnamon it changed it back but today I installed gdm (and therefore the rest of GNOME) trying out different login managers
I've removed gdm and the rest of GNOME not essential to Cinnamon now (in favour of LightDM) but maybe this config persists. Unfortunately I don't know enough to make any practical solutions out of this. I've tried reinstalling Cinnamon and all dependencies but no change.
Update: I uninstalled cinnamon and all GNOME packages, ran lostfiles, deleted most of them, broke other things, reinstalled all packages and cinnamon and the system is up again but this issue survived! Like a cockroach.

I nuked the entire system (as there were other issues) and this happens again. If
- touchegg is active and has at least 1 (any) gesture configured
- cinnamon menu is opened using the Menu button on the touchscreen and not the touchpad, super key or capacitive windows key or any other method
Seems more like an upstream bug than a config issue.. any thoughts?
I don't think there was a time the menu worked properly on this system wrt to this issue actually, I think the lag between configuring touchegg and me discovering it just made me think it suddenly started.

I have the same problem with a Fedora/Cinnamon combination. Have you found any solution?

The problem does not appear if one only uses application specific gestures. This is not really satisfying, but an okayish workaround if gestures are only for a (small) number of applications.
