Bug#911648: gnome-shell: Gnome shell menus are stuck in the state they were opened at (no visual update from interactions)

[Keno Goertz]

What do you mean "rotated"? I also encounter this bug, and I have two
monitors, but they're both horizontal. Are you using the "Multi
monitors add-on" plugin by any chance? I'll try disabling it and see
what happens. It's hard to tell for sure because the bug occurs at
random times for me.
