Hi Nik, You don't specifiy which version of Krita you're using, and whether it's a distribution build or an appimage, and which desktop you're using... But in any case, it's not something that we can do anything about -- we don't have any code in Krita that handles the menus specially, so this must be an issue with Qt. |
Created attachment 102321 [details] Example Dual display configuration that causes the issue Dropdown menus from the top toolbar such as File->New don't appear when using Krita on a secondary monitor when its desktop area is located below the primary monitor (as illustrated in the attached image). It seems that the height of these menus depends on the taskbar's vertical position, so anything below it will produce a menu with a height of zero. If i configure the secondary desktop to be anywhere above that, the menus display fine, or get squeezed into whatever height is left, even if it's too small. Also worth noting is that this only happens when the secondary desktop is to the left or to the right of the main one, since if it's placed directly under, the taskbar will move down over to the secondary display and there will be no issue. I've tested this on a fresh install of the latest Linux Mint version under both Intel and AMD graphics.
