[Psi-Devel] (Revision 773) Popup and pulldown menus appear in wrong screen in Xinerama setup

[Andreas Ntaflos]

Hello list,

I've posted this bug (almost verbatim) in the forums as well [1] but
since it's a problem with the SVN version (revision 773) it should
appear here as well, according to the bug forum guidelines.

I have a TwinView setup (Nvidia drivers provide a Xinerama extension for
cards with more than one video output port) with two monitors, and in
revision 773 any popup and pulldown menus are restricted to the first
(the left) Xinerama screen.

That is, when I position the contact list window somewhere on the second
(the right) screen and call any of the menus (Psi button, General,
Status, View, ...) they appear at the correct height, but on the wrong
screen. See the linked screenshot [2] for an example (I had to smudge a
few things, but I think it gets the point across).

If I remember correctly this worked fine in previous revisions, not sure
when it broke. It's probably easily fixable, but needs to be addressed
for the lucky people with more than one screen :)

Details:

Kubuntu 7.04
Qt4 4.3.0 (4.3.0-4ubuntu1~feisty1)
KDE 3.5.7

Could you reproduce this on one of the default Qt test applications?
My favorite one for reproducing bugs is $QTDIR/demos/textedit.

If it will reproduce, we could report it to the trolls.

Thanks for the reply! It sure does reproduce, see [1].

I am now in the process of filling out a bug report form at Trolltech's
website.
