added another affected menu
  • Some context menus in my KDE installation show the following problem:
  • When the menu is opened it shows normally.
  • ![the context menu of an audio device in KDE, showing various profiles to select from](https://linux.codidact.com/uploads/29oipcly08iij81xwogwl0frgjm0)
  • But as soon as I move the cursor over the menu, it becomes transparent and whatever is behind it appears again, just the border stays.
  • ![the same menu, with some entries showing and some invisible](https://linux.codidact.com/uploads/qkmoqfl9mwm2fhu4q26qs9p4we5j)
  • When I move the cursor over the entries in the invisible menu, they reappear.
  • ![again the same menu, now with all entries visible again](https://linux.codidact.com/uploads/uym9tj9oymziaoyw0n8hguthg8h7)
  • (everything except the divider line with `Profile` is back)
  • I can use the menus, it's just a nuisance I would like to get rid off.
  • This seems to only apply to QT components, but it doesn't behave that way in all menus.
  • - context menus in Dolphin for example are fine
  • - the output device selection is affected
  • - the shutdown menu in the application starter menu is affected
  • - non QT components are fine
  • Installed versions:
  • - Debian 12.8 (bookworm)
  • - KDE Plasma version: 5.27.5
  • - KDE-Frameworks version: 5.103.0
  • - QT version: 5.15.8
  • - Kernel version: 6.11.5
  • - Graphics adapter: Intel UHD Graphics 620
  • - Graphics platform: Wayland
  • I'd prefer to use the packages shipped by the OS instead of installing another KDE version via third party repositories or even compile it myself. Maybe someone ran into this issue as well and found a way to fix it.

Invisible menus in KDE core components
Some context menus in my KDE installation show the following problem:

When the menu is opened it shows normally.

![the context menu of an audio device in KDE, showing various profiles to select from](https://linux.codidact.com/uploads/29oipcly08iij81xwogwl0frgjm0)

But as soon as I move the cursor over the menu, it becomes transparent and whatever is behind it appears again, just the border stays.

![the same menu, with some entries showing and some invisible](https://linux.codidact.com/uploads/qkmoqfl9mwm2fhu4q26qs9p4we5j)

When I move the cursor over the entries in the invisible menu, they reappear.

![again the same menu, now with all entries visible again](https://linux.codidact.com/uploads/uym9tj9oymziaoyw0n8hguthg8h7)

(everything except the divider line with `Profile` is back)

I can use the menus, it's just a nuisance I would like to get rid off.

This seems to only apply to QT components, but it doesn't behave that way in all menus.
