Can't use brackets because of this strange menu bar bug

[surajmandalcell]

I did some research and found this to be a troublesome issue as it means there's something wrong with my systems text encoding but just to double check it i wanted to file a bug to see if its my OS (ubuntu 17.10 daily builds) or is it brackets on its own or conflicting with some other program.

A picture says a thousand words so here's the accurate representation of what the problem is

Please fix

[narayani28]

@surajmandalcell - Brackets works fine on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS and we have verified the working on the LTS with no issues. Kindly switch to 16.04.3 LTS for working with Brackets.

[mmmmmmbeer]

Experiencing the same issue here on Fedora 26. I suspect an invalid character set or language somewhere in the config, but haven't located anything yet.

[Harold-Anderson]

Same problem on Gentoo

You can try to reinstall brackets using command sudo dpkg -i <PATH_OF_DEB_FILE>, it will list the dependencies which failed(there would probably be 1 or 2). You can then install those dependencies, and then launching Brackets should work fine.

[surajmandalcell]

@saurabh95 i did reinstall, i complete uninstalled brackets and reinstalled the most recent version but still persists.

[narayani28]

@mmmmmmbeer , @hnaparst , @kuboosoft - thanks for reporting this issue. In the current 1.11 release, we have started supporting Ubuntu(verified for version 16.04.3 LTS) and Debian(verified for version 9.1.0). In the future releases, we will add support and address the issues for other flavors of Linux.

[surajmandalcell]

@narayani28 i cant just switch operating system just for the sake of 1 text editor, no thanks please comment when the issue is fixed.

[narayani28]

@surajmandalcell - we will keep the community updated when the issue is fixed.

[Romane-T]

As per the first post with the images. Seeing as I do use the menu a bit, this makes using this latest version problematic. Reverting till fixed.
Debian Testing, fully up to date.
Previous version of Brackets works just fine.
Have purged Brackets from my system, deleted every reference could find in a search of the file system, then re-installed. No change.
Re-downloaded the .deb file, re-installed .deb, no change. Install messages the same as with install after purge (except for over-writing bit):

root@romane:/home/romane# dpkg -i /home/romane/downloads/Brackets.Release.1.11.64-bit.deb
(Reading database ... 197808 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../Brackets.Release.1.11.64-bit.deb ...

xdg-icon-resource: size argument must be numeric
Try 'xdg-icon-resource --help' for more information.
Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme (0.17-1) ...

Have tried changing fonts via the preferences file. Unknown what font Brackets is using in the editor, as the system fonts I tried (about 6 or so) no change to the font in the editor. Previous version was fine.
Just guessing, looks like Brackets is not recognising system fonts, but what font is it recognising/using?
As per issue #13731, looked for libudev0 - not available in repositories. libudev1 is, however, and is installed.
On a whim, located a .deb for libudev0, which was last in Wheezy. Installed, zero affect. Still all squares in the menus.

[gacsnic]

the libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 package
is being retained in debian just like ubuntu, I see it has to do with javascript and gtk, does brackets depend on that package?
