Couple of responses:

>From a detached impersonal perspective

Oho that muddies the waters!
Earlier it looked like a gtk 2.x problem; removed in 3.x on
Now it looks like gtk 2.24.31 has the bug and gtk 2.24.32 doesnt
So if the problem is between those it seems a hair-breath!
Else its elsewhere ie gtk is being wrongly blamed

>From my personal perspective

Please close the bug!

Multiple reasons

1. Ive got a bug-fix (well a bug-duct-tape!): Press F10 twice and the
menus get set right

2. My laptop is old and creaky (as am I!) and I'm unlikely to be able
to cooperate if I'm offered bug-fixes that involve big (re)builds

3. When I see things like
 
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/61389/binding-xf86cut-and-xf86copy-to-emacs-commands#comment96761_61389
and
 
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/48561/is-there-an-x11-free-build-of-emacs-that-can-run-on-wayland-not-going-through-x
;
it would be better if going forward, Emacs support Wayland and drops
gtk2 (lucid? motif??)
No this is not an argument or even a suggestion; its just a
recognition that Im on the wrong side of history!
