Dropdowns in MATLAB close but don't change values when clicking on menu
Affected version
GNOME Shell 45.5
Bug summary
Hi!
first of all I'm sorry for bringing this issue to gnome.
I'm pretty sure its a problem that MATLAB uses really old packages but, you know, I strongly believe that I'll get help here - in an open-source community instead of by matlab
I have the following problem: I can't change dropdown value in matlab apps. this is however an issue specificly with GNOME. If I switch e.g. to plasma it works fine. I suppose MATLAB is a gtk3 app (requiers PackageKit-gtk3 package) but I could be wrong. Could you please give me some tips on what could be a problem?
Steps to reproduce
- open matlab
- open app with dropdown
- try to change its value
- value does not change
What happened
Turns out that described above problem is related to gnome shell
What did you expect to happen
I expect matlab to fix this but it takes about 1 year already seriously: Value in dropdown should change
