Not 100% sure, but most likely it's the two kxmlgui commits that got reverted after 5.35 was released:

* 1bc3a0b41c - Revert "When building menu hyerarchies, parent menus to their containers" (6 days ago)
* 78e572dadf - Revert "use transientparent directly" (7 days ago)
[....]
* 4690808e65 - use transientparent directly (5 weeks ago)
* b5af0296cb - When building menu hyerarchies, parent menus to their containers (6 weeks ago)

Please test these reverts.

k-f-d is the proper place for this discussion => CC'ed.
