Created attachment 183551 [details] Arrow pointed the wrong way. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Open the context menu close to the right corner of the screen. OBSERVED RESULT The arrow points to the wrong way. EXPECTED RESULT The context menu should use a + sign instead, because dynamically changing directions is impossible. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Kernel Version: 6.15.7-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-11300H @ 3.10GHz Memory: 9 GB of RAM (8.1 GB usable) Graphics Processor 1: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Graphics Processor 2: Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 82MG System Version: IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IHU6 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It's a visual inconsistency, a minor issue. Bug 493391 revealed that dynamically changing directions is impossible, therefore using a + sign would be better.
This seems like a reasonable suggestion. I'll pass this along to the developers for consideration.

A hamburger icon wouldn't make sense either. What would make sense to me would be to make the menu point in the direction that the child menu will open. However, it's not something that KDE can affect, since this is just how QMenus work; we can't override it here.
