Sublime Menu Not Visible on Kubuntu 22.04

#1

I am a first time user of Sublime and I just installed it on Kubuntu 22.04.

I’d heard there was a learning curve, but there is no menu at all and think this might be something to do with KDE’s global menu :stuck_out_tongue: I watched a tutorial video, and the person using it had a menu, although he was using a Mac.

  • Pressing ALT does not bring up a menu.
  • I checked my Auto Save Session.sublime_session and "menu_visible": true

I really don’t want to turn off my global menu just to use one text editor.

Installing/uninstalling appmenu-gtk3-module may fix that for you. Note that global menu functionality is entirely provided by GTK+modules, so if that’s broken on your system it’s probably also broken for other GTK apps.

FWIW I’ve tried kubuntu 22.04 in a fresh VM and the menus show just fine. This is certainly from system customizations you’ve made:

Thanks @bschaaf, I appreciate you looking into it and taking the time to fire up Kubuntu.

I’ve verified that I also have problems with Inkscape and gEdit, so the issue is definitely mine :frowning:

I tried reinstalling appmenu-gtk3-module but I probably need to reboot before I see a change. Of course, I hate rebooting because I lose all the edits I have made to temporary text files, which is what Sublime was going to solve :stuck_out_tongue:

I hope I can get this working, as after testing it in a VM it definitely hits the key reason I downloaded it (saving of the text buffers to temporary storage).

I can confirm that rebooting has fixed the issue. Hopefully reinstalling appmenu-gtk3-module did the trick. I’m excited to give Sublime a spin.
