Xpra: Ticket #2697: Right click ends up on the screen edge

In some cases (I assume custom right-click menus) I see this for windows on my WQHD monitor:

Unfortunately, I don't have more info data than these:

Can you please include the -d geometry log output? (server log, running both server and client with the flag)

There you go

I don't see anything suspicious in there. I can't be certain which window id is the one on the right hand side, but this looks like it could be the one:

initial X11 position and size: requested((3803, 639, 347, 138),
    {'position': (3803, 639), 'gravity': 1, 'minimum-size': (136, 39)})=(3803, 639, 347, 138)

And it looks to me like we're just honouring the position requested by the window using its WM_NORMAL_HINTS.

Can you attach the server's -d window,metadata,x11,geometry log output of just when the problematic window shows up - or at least tell me what time to look for. (because that's going to be quite verbose).

r26055 fixes a minor bug, r26056 improves the debug logging.

Replying to Antoine Martin:

I'm sorry, that must have slipped through the cracks.

Is this a client or a server change? If it's a server one, does it have any dependencies? Because Xenial is stuck on v3 ...

r26055 was wrong anyway and got reverted: #2734. So only the log.

There you go. This is how it looks like when I right-click:

(A second error here: Sublime underneath somehow is getting hover-focus)

So, for this layout:

On the right monitor, the image is the same as the description For the left monitor, the image is the same as the comment above

Maybe (?) related to this:

I click-drag on the text area (to select), and instead my mouse ends up dragging the source file tabs. 😕

I think we have discussed it somewhere else too, but I cannot remember where

"File" Menu ends up in weird places:

No image (left-most monitor)

I have seen that, if the window is in the server's middle monitor, the right-click can very well end-up on the right-most monitor.

What makes this even weird is that, as soon as I started writing this (and attempted to try to get a screenshot), it "magically" fixed itself!!!

The above screenshot now looks as it should: File menu glued at the 'File label, Unity Deskbar' intersection. ...
