Description Eric Williams

GdkEvent structs have been sealed in GTK4, preventing us from creating our own synthetic GdkEvents. This breaks behaviour in Menu and Display.post().

I have filed a ticket upstream with GTK about this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1488

Also note: part of this work will require accessing GdkEvents in callbacks using the getter functions, instead of memmove like done in GTK3.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
