File menu should not disappear on its own.

We use GTK3 to draw menus, so this looks like a regression with the version shipped in fedora 41.

I am not sure what regression means in this context... Would it make sense for me to file a bug report to Gnome or Fedora makers?

It would certainly make sense, though it's still unclear where exactly the issue is. It could be GTK, gnome itself, or something else entirely. It'll take some effort to narrow it down.
