I am having an issue where the Arduino menu options are not appearing, and the app icon is also the generic electron one.
This means that I cannot access the Preferences pane.
As can be seen, there should be a bunch more options including Preferences. Help also only includes links to Electron Documentation etc.
I will note that I have multiple versions of electron installed for some AUR apps, but this package specifically asks for Electron 27 so this shouldn’t be the issue.
I seem to have the same problem. I don’t see the menu at all and even using keyboard shortcuts for saving etc. result in an error. I can still connect and work with an arduino.
Here is the terminal output launching arduino-ide that shows a bunch of errors. Pressing ctrl+shift+p as suggested in the official arduino.cc-forum but it freezes the program.
Arduino IDE 27.3.11

I found other posts online that just suggested to install from AUR but I would like to avoid that.
So I jumped over my shadow and installed the AUR version 2.3.3-1 as suggested by @Lolix and it correctly displays the menu bar as well as the save dialog. So there is just something wrong with the arduino-ide in the official repositories for stable (v. 2.3.2-1) right now.
