Description Carlos Soriano 2016-10-07 07:36:35 UTC 
recently in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772507 I learnt gtk_menu_popup doesn't work as expected in backends with no global coordinates like wayland, which is unexpected and no warning is raised.

Instead we have gtk_menu_popup_at_pointer (new in gtk+ 3.22) and  gtk_menu_popup_at_widget as pointed out by Emmanuele that work in backends with no global coordinates.

Given that, I think would be best to deprecate gtk_menu_popup in favor of those functions.

Was gtk_menu_popup deprecated?

In unstable documentation it's not listed as deprecated:
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/unstable/GtkMenu.html#gtk-menu-popup

Thank you.

The documentation website is only updated after a release, not at every git commit.
