Changes in GTK3 in early 2019 created some problems with submenus in particular, which were fixed by merging the
wip/fix-submenu-size branch in Feb that year, this might be more fallout from the underlying change that made that necessary. I remember vaguely a whole bunch of menu size issues at that time

Issue happening on a completely up to date version of Ubuntu Mate 20.04 by the way.

just found this issue as it's something I have dealt with for awhile and finally decided to look into ... that general time frame (@ 2019 at some point) seems about when I noticed it for the first time... I think I have seen this in Caja on Solus Budgie (I happen to like Caja better then their defaults) too

#1571 fixes this, needs one unused variable cleaned up and then will be ready to go so far as I can tell

Can confirm this. Debian Stable 11 (Bullseye). Caja: 1.24.0-1, mate-desktop: 1.24.1-2.
