Does the menu appear in a weird place?

No, the placement is correct. 
I have been experiencing the strange misplacement of the menu popups on the external display on dolphin and kdenlive on wayland also. I filed another bug and attached it as a duplicate to someone with the same issue if that was useful.

I have a similar issue to this, after turning off and on my monitors (I'm on a desktop) the one on the right loses both the background and the ability to use right click to open the context menu (which would have allowed me to set a new wallpaper).

Turning it on/off again etc. does not work :(
