    Hello, hope you're all well. I'm using Inkscape 1.4 (e7c3feb100, 2024-10-09) on Nobara Linux and the menu bar is acting strange.

    When I try to click on any menu, only the File menu opens and then I have move my cursor to the menu I want. No matter what menu I click on, it always seems to open the File menu first.

    I even tried with the Alt key shortcuts, like Alt > E, Alt > V, etc. but it's still behaving the same. No other application is acting like this.

    Is this a known issue or is there something wrong with my Inkscape?

    I have attached a recording of what's happening and below is debug report from Inkscape's About menu.
