Xfce Topmenu GTK3 Issue

Hey,

I wanted to have my window menus in my top panel and installed the packages

aur/xfce4-topmenu-plugin-git
aur/topmenu-gtk-git
aur/topmenu-gtk3-git
aur/topmenu-mozilla-git 
aur/topmenu-qt-git

and followed the instruction on the maintainers site to activate the gtk modules
https://git.javispedro.com/cgit/topmenu-gtk.git/about/

The topmenus show up alright for gtk3 and gtk2 applications and for gtk2 applications they work. If I open a menu from a gtk3 application however the application itself crashes with a segfault.

dmesg shows:

[   97.287387] traps: transmission-gt[817] general protection ip:7fa2e40e8c40 sp:7fff5d740cb8 error:0 in libgtk-3.so.0.2200.5[7fa2e3f68000+6fa000]
[  203.020847] xfce4-terminal[828]: segfault at 60 ip 00007fdc9c9e2c40 sp 00007ffd20247738 error 4 in libgtk-3.so.0.2200.5[7fdc9c862000+6fa000]

It seems for other people topmenu is working fine in in xfce with gtk3 so I think something must be wrong with my configuration probably. Any advice on how to debug this?

Cheers and thanks!

I have been experiencing the exact same issue for a long time. xfce4-terminal, libreoffice, etc are all the same. any solutions?

Re: Xfce Topmenu GTK3 Issue

From the latest TopMenu git commit:

Gtk+2 is the preferred toolkit, albeit Gtk+3 is partially supported. **Please note that there is a known crash with Gtk+>=3.20, which I don't know how to fix. I don't have time to follow all of Gtk+ 3 changes**.

vala-panel-appmenu-xfce is an alternative you may wish to investigate.

vala-panel-appmenu-xfce works, not as perfect and efficient as topmenu used to be, but I guess life is full of compromises.
Thank you so much.
