Gnome Applications menu not showing some entire app groups since 3.18

Hi,

My Gnome Applications menu is not showing some entire application groups since the 3.18 update.

In my case, the 'Graphics' and 'Office' top-level menu item is showing but when I move the mouse over it, no applications are displayed. I have libreoffice, gimp, inkspace etc installed and so should be seeing some apps under those menu items. All was fine before 3.18 update.

I've re-installed gnome-menus but it hasn't helped. I've also had a good trawl of Google and other forums but haven't been able to find a similar issue elsewhere to help.

Any ideas what might be causing this, or any pointers for useful debugging outputs?

Dan

Hey DanGray,

this problem is reported as a Bug (see FS#46647).

A solution at the moment for me is to use „Frippery Applications Menu“.

Thanks for the link to frippery applications menu. I'm having the same issue and for now at least I have a menu that works. I do prefer applications menu to frippery, but at least frippery works.
