right click on file/folder icon shows broken menu

[Coeur Noir]

Hi,

Ubuntu 22.10 here

Open Nautilus.

Right click on any file or folder.

Often shows a visually and functionally broken menu,
where some items are hidden / overlapped by others.
And those items can't be triggered.

Screenshot attached.

( that screenshot may also serve to show a gnome-screenshot bug which is unable to correctly capture mouse cursor, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screenshot/+bug/1989295 )

I have the same issue. It started happening when I updated to 22.10. I attempted to take a screenshot, but PrintScreen doesn't seem to work when the right click menu is open. I can add any diagnostics you need, if that would help.

Update: Reinstalling appears to fix the issue.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus

EDIT: No, the problem still exists, but is intermittent.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hard to « measure » but it seems the problem happens mostly in Xorg session.

Confirmed ... I have multiple machines (clean installs) that all exhibit the same behavior.

This is a video demo of the glitch.

I resolved the issue. It appeared to be graphics driver related. I have updated to the latest MESA git from the oibaf PPA and now the issue is gone.
