Hmmm, you are correct for 2.4.2, however, for the latest Master that
does not seem to work, at least on the GTK version ...

Still investigating.

Nobody is working on GTK version, that is deprecated. Expect it to work less and less over time.

The menu is present in Qt version for master branch also but as I said I have not used it since more than a year. Nobody reported that it is broken yet, but it could be because it is not used that much.
