I uploaded 3 different versions of my shell.rc at
https://gist.github.com/jimbo1qaz/a8a1aaabe51eff8f0d95c20aa9b4b3b3

The long file contains noMerge="1" and <text> and <Action...> tags. It works
fine, and I'm using it now.

------

The short file's <Menu> groups are empty, except for <DefineGroup> tags.
They're missing both the menu name <text>, and the menu item <Action>.

Okular 1.5.70 (Kubuntu 18.04) generated them with noMerge="1" *present*,
causing the bug. The version I uploaded, I manually removed noMerge="1" to fix
the issue.

------

I also attached unmodified /usr/share/kxmlgui5/okular/shell.rc, which looks
very similar to the short file, but is missing noMerge="1" (but it's still
present in <ToolBar>).

------

I think flatpak 1.7.0 and versions are irrelevant. Okular usually generates the
long file for me, but sometimes (twice so far, both times in Ubuntu 18.04)
generates the short (broken) file. I'm not sure what causes the short file to
be generated, and when I tried reproducing the bug, it produced the long (ok)
file instead.

## Another possible issue

Long files store the menu layout in ~/.local, and noMerge="1" causes it to
ignore Okular's built-in settings (for some reason,
/usr/share/kxmlgui5/okular/shell.rc does NOT contain <text> or <Action>). Does
that mean that upgrading Okular's /usr/ will not upgrade the menu, since Okular
uses the ~/.local menu layout generated by old Okular?
