Version: (using KDE 4.4.1) Installed from: openSUSE RPMs I do have some windows open with a long title in the title-bar. For instance okular, which shows the name of the document in the title-bar. When this name is very long, the string in title-bar will be long. Now when I open the right-click menu of a titlebar of a window, and I do this closely to the right screen edge, this problem occurs: -- The space between the right border of the sub menu and the right screen edge is not big enough to fit the long window titles. -- Therefore if I choose "Move window to group" submenu, the shown list of window titles overlaps the right click menu. -- This only happens the first time in the lifetime of the right click menu. If I move my mouse to another menu entry and then back to "Move window to group", the appearing list will be now aligned to the left border of the right-click menu where is enough space to allow the list not to overlap over right-click menu. Note that this problem of the content of a submenu overlapping the right-click menu only happens with the "Move window to group" submenu -- all other submenus align their content to the left border if there is not enough space btw. the right border of right-click menu and the right screen edge. The problem with this bug is a usability one: Because if I don't want to select "Move window to group" but a entry below in the right-click menu, it can happen that I first point my mouse a little bit to far above and the "Move window to group" submenu occurs and hides the entries below. Therefore one has to move mouse pointer upwards to get rid of this menu and then try again to hit the wished for entry. It's not that big of a deal, but sometimes rather annoying. If my explanation is not clear, or easily reproduceable, I could also provide screenshots.
I see the behaviour for other submenus of the context menu as well. I think this is a Qt issue as the positioning of the context menu is done in Qt AFAIK.
Hmm, thats interesting I see this behaviour only with the "Move window to group" submenu. I do have qt-4.6.2 packages installed from KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop

We'll need a string shortening strategy for captions, most simply by eliding text. Re-assigning component since it's not really a tabbing issue. For now i'll just elide the entries in that popup
must do patch from bespin client heuristics to upstream ...
hidden feature available in 4.10
Does not apply to (tab) menus (yet) To activate: kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Windows --key CondensedTitle true qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin reconfigure
