[SOLVED] Menus not appearing correctly

I recently installed Arch and I'm using Plasma 5.

When running an application, the "submenu" (File/Edit/Options etc) is just a white area with the options slammed next to each other in plain text (see picture).

I first noticed this bug in Tilda (terminal) when I thought the tabs when having multiple terminals open appeared strange. However, I noticed the same issue when using Emacs and assumed it wasn't a Tilda-specific bug. Unfortunately I've only been using Arch since yesterday and haven't been able to find this issue on any other applications that I currently have, but I assume the issue appears on every "submenu" on my system.

Am I missing some packages, or what might this issue be?

Re: [SOLVED] Menus not appearing correctly

Likely to be a theming issue in GTK3 applications - check https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=210815 for further information. KDE's own breeze-gtk is currently incompatible with the changes from the new GTK release, you should switch GTK3 to one of the compatible themes for the time being, even though applications won't look as integrated.

Thank you - I changed GTK3 theme to Adwaita and it seems to have solved the issue.
