[Test Case] Open LibreOffice Writer, go to global menu, click on any menu to open, hover over items. Expected: Orange highlight (from default theme, color not important) on mouse hover Actual: No highlight, except: - text in mid-grey colour changing a bit (brighter grey) - menu entries that lead to a direct action get an orange square on the left side - menu entries that lead to opening another windows just don't change - submenus open, but highlighting works the same way in sub-menus [Regression Potential] A revert of the offending commit.
