Hmm, could that be MATE maybe? Or GNOME in classic mode?
KDE, GNOME, Xfce, Cinnamon, LXQt, LXDE, MATE, Budgie all don't even
support the menu anymore for a long time. It is still supported by
some window managers, but all of those also usually have desktop-entry
support (or window-manager users just launch stuff via command instead
of clicking through a menu).
Try removing the menu, I'd bet it makes no difference to your desktop
as long as the .desktop file is still there...
(unless you are a window-manager user maybe)
Cheers,
Matthias
