I'm ready to start testing KDE6 programs (Dolphin, KATE, Konsole) but won't likely use KDE6 itself... I tested alienBOB's Slackware 15.1-current (64-bit) KDE6 liveCD and it seems okay (but will probably be the slowest plasma yet) though I wasn't able to get root on that CD (unlike his other CDs/ISOs) which was disappointing, because I needed root for maintenance.

1 day using and encounter a lot of bugs ...and its supossed beta 2.
change the menu style to applications menu ...
navigate in the menus ...
put mouse on wallpaper and click ... menus dont hidden.
put the mouse in a categorie of menu ...and explore it with the mouse pointer ... go wallpaper and click.
That ever hidden the menu on kde4 and kde5 ... then its a bug on kde6 ,pretty sure.
Only works okey if no touch the default configs.
Other one , change the icons to "oxygen" , put theme breeze-dark ... the icons on notification area, no turns in white icons ...stay colored icons. (breeze icon theme does okey)

I think the issue here is that the legacy application menu has been neglected during development, since it's not the default (i actually like it a lot and use it).
The behavior you are seeing is typical of a normal window, but the menu should be a special window. There should be something like a window hint set in code that tells the wayland server to treat the window in a special way (destroy when losing focus, do not show entry in taskbar) but in the legacy menu this hint is not set.
I suggest reporting the bug in kde bug tracker https://bugs.kde.org/ pasting your screenshots

This week in KDE: auto-save in Dolphin and better fractional scaling
Nate. January 19, 2024.
We’re in the home stretch now!
Plasma and Gear apps have branched, which means anything committed to master and not backported is going into the next release after the mega-release next month. For Plasma, the next one is 6.1, and for Gear apps, it’s 24.05. Quite a few new features and UI improvements are starting to accumulate there! Here are a few:..........

This week in KDE: Inching closer
Nate. February 9, 2024.
The KDE 6 mega-release is due in a little under three weeks! And folks have remained in diligent bugfixing-and-polishing mode, because we want this release to be as smooth and drama-free as possible! If you haven’t already tried it out, this is a good time to. Find all the bugs that are bugging you so we can hopefully fix them before the final release! ..........
