With the last couple of versions of the Linux Zoom desktop client, I find that some menus (including the main menu and the audio/video selection menu) don't work: they appear for a fraction of a second and then disappear again. The last version that worked is 5.17.5. Versions 5.17.10 and 5.17.11 show this problem, which makes the desktop client unusable in practice. One of the institutions that host meetings that I attend has a very strict policy on using up-to-date versions of the client, so using version 5.17.5 may not be a usable workaround for much longer.
I am using Gnome/Wayland on openSUSE 15.5.
This looks similar to a problem reported on the Fedora forums at https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/zoom-menus-dont-show/82677/1 but openSUSE 15.5 uses an older version of mutter (41.9) than that reported there.
For completeness I have attached zoom logs for working and non-working versions, although I can't see any significant difference between them.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to fix this, or whether there might be a fix coming soon?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I can confirm that the problem DOES NOT EXIST in latest version, 6.0.2.4680.
Looks like it is fixed in this version.
I am seeing flickering though, so I suspect that the problem might come back. Looks to me like the menu close functions aren't coded right.
