In dolphin I have hidden the places panel and use the places drop down menu that appears when you click the "house icon" at the front of the location/address bar. The menu that appears shows up on a different monitor from the rest of the application. I'm using Dolphin version 16.04.2 from Debian Stretch/Sid (same version in either) My Graphix card is an Nvidia GTX 970 with the proprietary driver at version 370.28 I'm using xserver version: 7.7 Also from Debian Stretch/Sid I have a 4 monitor configuration with three monitors in a row across and one monitor centered above. The monitors are all 1080p with the exception of the center one which is 1920X1200. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. have a multi monitor set up (I have 4, not sure if it happens with less), may also be specific to Nvidia Proprietary Drivers 2. configure dolphin to hide the places panel and instead use to drop down menu. 3. Click the drop down menu and observe. Actual Results: Menu on wrong monitor Expected Results: Menu should appear under the button that produced it, or in a sane location regarding the placement of the window vs the edge of the screen.
Thanks for the report. I cannot reproduce on my laptop + external monitor setup. Anyway this menu comes from KIO, I'm reassigning to the right product.
I can confirm that the bug specifically happens on 4 monitors. I'm not sure if more monitors would effect it or if the shape of my monitor configuration does it. the shape is: [ ] [ ][ ][ ] When the top monitor is connected the issue occurs. When this monitor is disabled it fixes the issue.
Are you sure it happens only with the Dolphin Places menu? What about drop-down menus from other apps?
Pretty sure no other applications are affected. I've opened kwrite to test specifically another kde application and the menus: file, edit, etc all work fine. My web browsers: Firefox, Vivaldi, and Chrome all work. Pidgin and other GTK menus seem to work fine. In Syestem Settings, the help menu dropdown works fine. All right click menus appear where they should. Are there any other specific apps you'd like me to check? Even in Dolphin all menus seem to work. The overflow menu to the right behaves correctly, the right click menus are fine, even the breadcrumb drop downs work just fine. It's literally just the places menu that acts up and only when I have the 4th monitor enabled. Below I've Illustrated some configurations showing my monitor layout and various positions for dolphin and it's places menu: [M] [ ][D][ ] [ ] [D][M][ ] [ ] [ ][M][D] [*] [ ][ ][ ] A [D] indicates the monitor dolphin is on, a [M] indicates the monitor the menu appears on, and an [*] indicates where dolphin is behaving correctly (both on the same monitor and the menu appears in a sane location). As you can see, dolphin only behaves correctly in the case where it is on the top monitor. When it is on any of the 3 bottom monitors, it breaks. I think it has to do with the fact that the top monitor being above the other 3. When dolphin is in on a monitor that breaks it's places menu (any of the bottom 3, the menu always appears on the adjacent monitor and on the side of the monitor nearest the one dolphin is on. For instance if dolphin is on my left monitor then the menu will appear on the middle monitor but always hugging the left margin/side.
Cannot reproduce. Is this still an issue for you with KDE Frameworks 5.49 and Dolphin 18.08.x?
