Hi Timo,

To test I removed the package holds, updated and upgraded to current released packages, and then rebooted. At this point I confirmed the issue in the original report.

Next I enabled the xenial-proposed repository, updated and then installed the following two packages:

  sudo apt install xserver-common/xenial-proposed xserver-xorg-core/xenial-proposed

Then I rebooted. After reboot I confirmed that these proposed xenial packages did indeed fix the issue. I was once again able to click on the three line/bar icon in Firefox and see the drop down menu list display. I also confirmed that there were no regressions in my testing (no SDDM hang on login, and no screen tearing).

Following is the output you requested earlier.

$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core
xserver-xorg-core:
  Installed: 2:1.18.4-0ubuntu0.8

Thank you very much for fixing this problem and seeing it through to xenial-proposed. If there is any more steps you need me to take to get this into an official release package then please let me know.

Sincerely,
