SUMMARY

[Wayland] File Menu does not load directly underneath the File Option; it seems to float


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on File or alt-F
2. Look for drop-down menu

OBSERVED RESULT

Drop-down menu is to the right or well below the menu bar

EXPECTED RESULT

Drop-down menu should be to the left, right under the file option

Oh this is one of the known Wayland QMenu positioning bugs. There are a bunch and I don't know which are still valid though...

Is there a better Product / Component combination I can use so somebody can more easily find the original bug report?

This seems to be the upstream bug report: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-88561

Moving the relative positions of the screens in System Settings so that they were aligned at the top instead of at the bottom "fixed" the problem for me, if only as a workaround.

Comment 8 Marco Parillo 2022-05-20 15:41:37 UTC

I believe this problem may have resolved itself with:

Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.94.0
Qt Version: 5.15.4
Kernel Version: 5.17.9-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i7 CPU M 620 @ 2.67GHz
Memory: 7.6 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics
Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
Product Name: HP EliteBook 8440p

Great!

Comment 10 Marco Parillo 2022-05-23 23:30:30 UTC

I am sorry, but either as part of an update, or maybe I actually tried aligning the tops of my two monitors. Either way, I checked my Display Settings, and the two monitors were aligned at the top. So, the good news is that the work-around does work.

Comment 11 Marco Parillo 2022-05-23 23:34:23 UTC

Bad new is that if I align two different sized monitors at the bottom, then the "floating" menus return.
