Anyway, this appears to be a MATE or Mint or Compiz bug. Apparently what's happening is that the menu is indeed "dropping down", but _behind_ its parent window, so you can't see it. That's obviously pathological, but it's not a gretl bug, it's a bug somewhere in your stack of Desktop, window manager, compositor. So please take the bug report there -- and you might try being a little nicer about it if you want a helpful response.

This looks very much like it:
