weird behaviour of qoppa studio pro on rawhide -- cursor seems mispositioned

  i'm having a strange and recent issue with a commercial PDF editor
running on rawhide that i've been using without issue for quite some
time -- this showed up just a few days ago in conjunction with both a
new release of the product *and* an update of rawhide, so it might be
related to one, the other, or some bizarre interaction between the
two.

  short explanation -- when i start a session with the product, PDF
studio pro, and left-click on "File" to open a file, the immediately
highlighted entry under "File" is "Open", which is the *second* entry
in the submenu, under "New Document" -- it's as if, once having
selected "File", the cursor position is one entry too low in the
submenu. if i want to go up slightly to select "New Document", i
actually have to move the cursor *above* the word "File", into the
blank title bar area.

  the same is true for all the other top-level menus -- "Edit",
"View", "Document", and so on and so on; click on menu entry, submenu
appears with second selection highlighted, not first. no other
graphical client displays this behaviour; everything else seems to
work just fine.

  i've asked qoppa support about this and they can't reproduce it, but
they admit they're using a release version of fedora, not rawhide. i
also tried uninstalling and reinstalling -- no luck. i also
backtracked to the older version of the product, but still see the
same weirdness.

  i can experiment more today, but i'm open to suggestions as to what
might be happening here. if anyone wants to reproduce this, you can
download an eval version of studio pro here:

of course, if your version works fine, i'll be even more confused.
