I can confirm this is still an issue in Linux Mint (22.2) and Cinnamon (6.4).

Context-Menu of "Settings" is fixed with 057.1 on Linux Mint 22.2. But "About" and "default"-Menu still don't work.

This seems an upstream library issue https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne/issues/4843

Have the same isssue - Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon. Seems to have been going on for a while and they seem uninterested in fixing the upstream fyne-io/fyne#4843 as mentioned above
