This is really annoying and it makes the program useless.

As a workaround use Poedit for windows with wine ...

Well, I use Alt+P to bring up menu and after that arrows to navigate in it.

As @mpt posted here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/missing-menus-in-ubuntu-apps-try-this/#comment-106506072 I'm adding Application Menu Indicator as also affected by this bug.

Well, no, this bug very much is valid (and affects all wxWidgets-based apps, not just Poedit) -- it's just invalid as upstream bug, because it's Ubuntu-specific breakage caused by Ubuntu changes to GTK+.

Can you see if this works with the current dbusmenu on Natty? The parser has changed quite a bit and might have fixed this. Thanks!

Sorry, but I'm not going to upgrade to Natty in order to check this bug.

It's something you should kind of consider fixing in current Ubuntu version, too...

And sorry, but closing the bug as invalid just because no user is brave enough to upgrade their system to latest unstable snapshot (seeing how a broken thing like dbusmenu is included in stable release) sounds a bit over the top to me. Especially when all it takes to verify the bug is to install the poedit package yourself (presumably you do run Natty, right?) -- this must be perfectly reproducible.

If I sound annoyed, that's because I'm the upstream and I'm tired of taking blame for Ubuntu's breakages and seeing that Ubuntu devs don't give a damn about making their non-standard modifications actually work. (And yes, this isn't the first time something like this happened and played out this way.)

Today, after about a month, I started Poedit and it has menubar visible. I don't know what and when was fixed, though.

the issue was fixed with a recent wxwidgets2.8 update
