Title:
  Thunar right-click menu not expanded

Status in GTK+:
  New
Status in Thunar File Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in thunar package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Submitting this bug report with the SRU template, but hopefully we can
  go ahead have this uploaded before the final images have been built.

  [Impact]

   * The "Create Document" submenu in Thunar does not expand to a usable length.
   
   * The submenu is displayed at just a few pixels tall, enough to see menu items as you scroll, but not enough to read any item.
   
   * This breaks a standard use case for file managers: creating new files.
   
   * The proposed upload fixes the bug by loading the menu items synchronously, making the menu load with the items already populated instead of having to redraw once the items are added.
   
   * The patch provided comes from the upstream maintainer.

  [Test Case]

   * Open Thunar.
   
   * Right click in the blank space (not on an item).
   
   * Move the cursor to the "Create Document" menu.
     * Bug Present: The submenu is displayed but short, and no items are visible.
     * Bug Resolved: The submenu is displayed, items present in the ~/Templates folder are displayed.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Regression potential is minimal:
     * The modified code affects only the drawing of the submenu items.
     * The submenu is already ununsable, no items are displayed.
     
   * Some limited testing has already been completed:
     * 2 users confirmed the patch fixes the issue on the upstream bug report.
     * 2 Xubuntu team members (bluesabre, Unit193) have also confirmed the patch and no regressions.

  [Original Report]
   
  In Thunar, when I right click to create a new file, the menu shows up so small that I can't see the options. I have rebooted and the problem persists. Haven't checked other file managers yet. Running Xubuntu 19.04 (Development Branch), Thunar 1.8.4.
