Open any file in LO Writer. Click on "File" in the main menu. Then continue to mouse horizontally right across the other main menu options. EXPECTED RESULT: Each menu opens as you move over it without impeding further horizontal movement of the mouse. ACTUAL RESULT: When you get to the VIEW menu option you can no longer move the mouse to the next main menu option. This is because the menu is covering the other menu options. The same problem occurs with the INSERT menu. SUGGESTION: All main menu options should drop down just below the main menu bar, so as not to obscure other menu options.

I am using a 15½ inch laptop at 1366 x 768. Could this be an issue on smaller screens where there is insufficient vertical space to show the whole menu.

Perhaps, but on Windows builds, screen size does not affect mouse pointer mouse-over of main menu. Setting display to 800 x 600 the mouse-over refocus of main menu entries continues even though the menu list extends below screen. GTK3 only?

I tried with a 768px height and can confirm with gtk3 and 7.3.3, but I think this is just the way gtk does things and we use native widgets. Pinging Caolán to confirm design choice out of our control.
yeah, menu placement is not under our control in gtk3 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/1016
