The "Help" menu as well?

To make sure: What does clicking on About Emacs in the Help menu tell
about the version used for building Emacs?

No.  But I'm with GTK 3.22.11 which suffers from what is cited in
etc/PROBLEMS as

*** Emacs built with GTK+ toolkit can unexpectedly widen frames

Maybe GTK changed their behavior that instead of auto-widening the
window they now black out the menus.  When you start Emacs from the
console or a text terminal do you see something like the

Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_distribute_natural_allocation: assertion 'extra_space >= 0' failed

mentioned in that entry?

Also, please keep <37007 <at> debbugs.gnu.org> in the list of recipients so
that others see your answers as well (using Reply To All in your MUA
should suffice).

Thanks, martin
