Created attachment 168447 [details] screenshot of xchat context menu in a wrong position SUMMARY hexchat, an irc client, when running, has context menu not just in the System Tray icon, but also on upper-left corner of the screen (see the attached image). This, of course, creates issues when there is an top-screen panel housing, say, QuickLauncher positioned on the left side of that top-screen panel. Hexchat's icon in system tray has context menu on right-click, where on left-click it hides/shows (minimizes/restores) the hexchat application. But, clicking in the upper left corner (or 5-10 pixels down/right of the top-left corner) has the same behavior as when clicking on the icon in the system tray. When I right-click on hexchat icon in system tray the context menu is shown at the correct place. It seems like hexchat icon is presenting itself at two places - in the system tray and in the upper left corner of the screen (just without the icon). I've only observed this with hexchat. This happens on Plasma6 with kwin_wayland (haven't tested on Plasma6 and Xorg). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run hexchat (doesn't have to be configured, context menu always exists) 2. Right-click close to upper-left corner of the screen OBSERVED RESULT Hexchat context menu is shown. EXPECTED RESULT Desktop context menu should be shown (or panel context menu, or whatever is on that part of the display).

Ultimately this is caused by Bug 433079. However I might recommend finding a different IRC client as HexChat is abandonware. KDE has its own IRC client called Konversation. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 433079 ***
