Font dropdown menu issues on MacOS Ventura

Summary:

Using the new version of MacOs on M1, Ventura, the items inside the dropdown font list aren't selectable using mouse, only using arrow keys. I can works with fonts using the mouse only via Text and Font Panel

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • Choose Text tool in the toolbar
  • write something
  • select all and try to change font via dropdown menu using mouse

What happened?

Dropdown menu opens (twice if you want to see the font preview, as per known issue), the fonts type doesn't got highlighted under the mouse cursor after the click. Font doesn't change.

What should have happened?

A new font type should have been selected.
