Dear Maintainer,

Wireshark's dropdown menus are invisible in Sway (the Wayland compositor). The
invisible dropdown menu entries can't be clicked but they can still be
activated via keyboard. The dropdown menus in other QT-based apps (VLC, Krita,
…) work fine in Sway.

A workaround is to run `ssh -X localhost wireshark` in Sway, or to run
Wireshark inside Weston.

Hi Pelle,

I've tried to reproduce the error, but all menus I could think of
worked under Sway in Ubuntu 21.04 with an intel GPU and in unstable
(today) in Qemu.
Could you please tell which drop-down menus did not work or if you
have some special config that could affect the behaviour?

Cheers,
Balint

Capture, etc.

When running Wireshark in Sway with a newly created user, the drop-downs
work. However, I haven't intentionally changed any Qt configuration, and
neither `.qt`, `.config/Trolltech/` or `.config/Trolltech.conf` exist.
I'm not sure where else accidentally created Qt configuration could be hiding.

Hi Pelle,

OK, those worked for me.

I suggest making a copy of your user's $HOME under a newly created
user account, importing it to git and removing parts of it in the form
of a binary search to find what makes the difference.

Cheers,
Balint
