When I go to any of the pull down menus, the list of choices drop down but I cannot select anything. I have recently done a fresh install of opensuse Leap 16, and have upgraded from Moneydance 2014 to the most recent version (2024). All of my data is available, I can enter transactions, and using the available keypad commands I can balance my accounts. I am not having this issue with any other programs on the system (so far that I am aware of anyway). Below are the version information for Moneydance, opensuse Leap 16, and Java. If there is any other information you need please let me know.
Thanks.
Tom

From the developer console: Moneydance 2024.4(5253) Java version: 21.0.5, Jython version: 2.7.2(final), running on Linux(6.12.0-160000.26-default) amd64(intel64)

From the /etc/os-release file:
NAME="openSUSE Leap"
VERSION="16.0"
ID="opensuse-leap"
ID_LIKE="suse opensuse"

From Java:
openjdk version "25.0.2" 2026-01-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 25.0.2+10-suse-1600-x8664)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0.2+10-suse-1600-x8664, mixed mode, sharing)

    Unless there is a keyboard shortcut for that I cannot access the console
    window (that's the issue, cannot select anything in the menus other than by
    keyboard shortcuts.

    An alternative is to close Moneydance then upload the Moneydance error log - errlog.txt to the forum, this will be in your home directory in the hidden .moneydance folder.

    It would also be worthwhile telling us the Desktop Environment you are using.

    KDE Plasma I am not familiar with, but it is not a DE that problems have been reported with as far as I am aware.
