Bug Description

Ubuntu 17.05 Unity8
some submenus in GTK3 apps look like widgets (see attached screenshots)
run whatever gtk3 apps native (without Xmir), sol or eog
open the menu/submenus. the first time you open the menu everything is fine but the next times it shows this widget like submenus. just open and close submenus (hover the mouse over the main menu left right, right left)

Are you sure ubuntu-app-launch doesn't/shouldn't play a role in providing some kind of session/settings for GTK apps to get?

I know theoretically this could be fixed in GTK, UAL or Unity8. Just don't know where is the correct place.
