When running Blender on Fedora Workstation 43(GNOME, Wayland), the Preferences window does not open and all menus starting from the File menu are grayed out. I test flatpak(flathub), occur the issue too. So the issue may be not rpm-specific. On Fluxbox(host) and Fedora KDE Edition(gnome-boxes), the menus work correctly. This suggests the problem is related to the GNOME Wayland session rather than Blender itself. Version-Release number of selected component: blender-4.5.3-1.fc43.x86_64 xdg-desktop-portal-gnome-49.0-1.fc43.x86_64 xdg-desktop-portal-gtk-1.15.3-2.fc43.x86_64 xdg-desktop-portal-1.20.3-2.fc43.x86_64 Some Environments are in Additional Information Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Blender from Fedora RPM packages or Install blender from flatpak install com.blender.Blender 2.Run Blender 3.Try to open Preferences or any menu starting from the File menu.

It seems like an issue with Gnome Wayland running on NVidia driver. Can you file the bug upstream on GNOME Shell?
Thanks for your message. This bug has both NVIDIA proprietry driver and nouveau driver. In the case, Shoud I file the bug upstream on GNOME Shell? If so, I will file the bug on GNOME shell.
Please do.
Issue done. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/8677.
