cannot acces properties menu, no menu in gui

[fenpaws]

So I have a wired error in the latest SnapperGUI,
I try to go to the properties section but I cannot open the menu for it. There should be a menu when you click the icon on the top left, or at least it was this way in xfce.

I could find anything that would suggest a settings page. So i think its a bug maybe.

My system:
OS: Manjaro 20.2 Nibia
DE: KDE 5.76.0 / Plasma 5.20.4

It a fresh install btw.

Yes, same problem. Clicking the icon doesn't bring any properties option.
However you can edit the configuration file from commandline:
/etc/snapper/configs/root

I guess this blame should be on Gtk. I'm on KDE with Global menu and I do get the menu exported there. But I'm not sure why the initial reported has the issue because he's on KDE.

My system is: Debian Unstable + KDE

just meet the same problems

However, I found run snapper gui in root privilege (sudo snapper-gui) could fix this issue

@rickysarraf Hi, thanks very much for creating this extremely useful GUI.
I'm also having this issue on Debian Stable with Plasma. Under XFCE on Debian Stable the properties menu works correctly. I tried some custom Kwin rules too but no success.

Yes. I just checked it now and I see the menu not exported in KDE either. I don't know what changed in the past year. Will post here if I know the cause.

Thanks for the reply. I suspect that it has something to do with the way Kwin tries to deal with CSD. I also tried it in Icewm on the same system and it acted the same way, but again CSD can behave weird with different window managers.

I am having this issue also.
