Description William Kendrick 2009-10-17 02:57:18 UTC

Version:           0.3 (using KDE 4.3.2)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

I have a notes plasmoid on the right side of my desktop.  If I right-click to bring up the plasmoid's context menu, it is often too close to the edge, and goes off the screen.  The menu should keep itself on-screen.  (For comparison, try right-clicking at the far right of a maximized Konqueror window :) )

It seems to me that part of the problem is how the menu is created. It seems to be part of the widget itself, as it goes under other notes, etc. and thus cannot reasonably determine the screen geometry. I don't really know the code, but this is what seems to be happening.

The little pop-up sidebars that are used to move and resize widgets are definitely aware of the screen edges, though.

Comment 3 Dan Hagerstrand 2009-10-17 07:12:50 UTC

That's because those are handled by Plasma, not the widget itself. Plasma is aware of screen geometry. So are the pop-up menus (under normal circumstances, anyway). However, for some reason, it looks like this pop-up menu is being done through the level of the widget, and thus the screen geometry is not passed down to it. There is no way for it to determine where the edges are.
