Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Gwenview 25.08.0?

Yes, the issue is still present, uploaded a new screenshot of it.
Comment 4 Mors Mortium 2025-08-22 12:37:31 UTC 
One thing to add is that since the report I switched distro to Artix, but I don't think this has any influence on it.
Comment 5 A Linux User 2025-08-22 12:43:07 UTC 
Also note that the context menu is kinda unnecessary.
