Bug 502715

Hi - for what it's worth, I can't reproduce on Fedora KDE 41 - which still has Qt 6.8.2, possibly related?

Cannot reproduce with git master plasma-systemmonitor but Qt 6.8.2. Could be a Qt 6.9 regression.

I see this bug in Fedora 42 (Qt 6.9.0), but not in Plasma built from git-master (Qt 6.8.2)
There's a duplicate from someone who also has Qt 6.9.0

faces/*table: Fix positioning of context menus with Qt >= 6.9

Not entirely sure how behaviour changed here but popups ended up
incorrectly positioned with newer Qt.

Hi,
i'm testing with 
plasma-systemmonitor-6.3.80~16.git7f7856f-1.fc42.x86_64

and the problem is still not resolved (although the 'fix' is in the commit-history?)`

It's fixed for me with that commit, also on Fedora 42. I would suspect a packaging issue with that package, unless you're still using Qt 6.8.x for some reason, in which case that's why.

sorry to say, but no - not fixed... completely :-)

It works on a single-screen or on a multi-screen-setup if you are on the main-screen: Here for example, if opening system-monitor window on the laptop-screen (with additional +4K monitor)

If you call system-monitor on the 4K screen, then it's still broken (see attachments)

Operating System: Fedora Linux 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0
Kernel Version: 6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)

on 2nd screen

And, if you open the window on the laptop screen (Meta-ESC) it works.
Don't close the window, move it to the 4K screen: and it still works (context-menu is at mouse-pointer position)

But, if you initially start on 4K screen with (Meta-ESC), the context-menu still opens on the far right side

Could you please attach a screenshot of your screen arrangement? I cannot immediately reproduce with two screens.

settings-4k

I have almost exactly the same screens and screen arrangement (the difference being a 23" 1440p external monitor rather than 27" 4K, but otherwise the same) and I can't reproduce the issue with the fix on my system.

how can i help any further?
even with latest updates (git), the problem is still there

Unclear. You're the only one who still seems to be able to reproduce the issue with the fix applied on with a multi-monitor setup, and we haven't found out what's different between your system and everyone else's

well, maybe one thing:
the 4K monitor is attached to a thunderbolt-4 box using usb-c ?
does this help?

Mine is plugged in via USB-C as well, though only to a USB-C+DP+PD port in the laptop, not a Thunderbolt port.

all other context-menus are where they should be... (krusader, dolphin, others)

One more thing regarding system-monitor:
It's really only the right-click on the applications (or processes) list items.
If i click on the columns, the contextmenu is exactly at the mouse pointer position.
Even in applications, with details (sidebar on the right) enabled, right-clicking in the cpu/memory/network graphs shows the context menu spot on at the mouse-pointer.

Maybe one additional hint...as unlikely as it sounds: i'm using a left-handed mouse, so the buttons are swapped

Does it stop happening if you un-swap the buttons?

no, does not change anything if mouse is right/left handed

but, i got a coredump of systemsettings (before switching mouse handedness) ... preparing logs for attachment

coredump1

coredump2

the coredumps just happen after clicking (more than usual) in the various panels of systemmonitor.
No changes to the pages, just clicking on items, columns, switching pages and so forth

sorry... i meant systemmonitor (not systemsettings as in comment #28)

In widget edit menu

I encountered something similar in the widget edit mode when I hove over "Delete widget" and such buttons. But instead of being shifted to the left, it's shifted to the right

The remaining issue that only affects the multi-screen use case has been fixed in Qt with https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/648321, thanks to Vlad Zahorodnii!

If that gets backported, it'll show up in a Qt 6.9.x release eventually too. Unclear right now whether this will happen.
