second panel brisk menu empty on every restart

[bogger33]

I just updated from ubuntu mate 20.04 to 21.04, and I noticed kind of weird behaviour. I have two panels set up, one at the bottom of the screen and one at the top. both have a brisk menu on the very left. However, every reboot, the menu at the top is void of applications, with the only options being "favourites", "all" and "control center", and it says "sorry, no items found" on the right. I would take a screenshot but it seems having the menu open disables the print screen button. The one at the bottom behaves normally.

If I get rid of the menu at the top from the panel, and add a new brisk menu in its place, it will correctly be populated with my applications. however, if i then reboot, it will be empty once again. The menu at the bottom works perfectly fine.

version 0.6.2-1ubuntu0
