Dolphin right click menu sometimes opens on left edge of window

Dolphin 24.12.0

Nobara 41

Got a bit of an odd one. Right clicking on files in Dolphin, if it’s in the upper half of the window, the right click menu will open normally by the cursor.
If I right click on a file in the lower half of the window, the context menu opens outside the left edge of the window.
Has anyone seen this?
Is this a weird setting somewhere, or should I file a bug report?

Screenshots attached for clarity.

Hi - just to double-check, do you see that issue if you switch to the stock Breeze global theme?

I’m thinking about that because of bugs in the past like 480864 – Titlebar context menu of non-maximized Aurorae-decorated windows is misplaced on Wayland , where the placement of some context menus being thrown off seemed to be related to theming elements like window decorations.

Yeah…that seems to be it. Ain’t that irritating. I don’t like the breeze theme.
I never would have figured that out either! Thanks for the tip

Ah, well I’m glad that something worked, at least!

For what it’s worth, it might not be necessary to totally get rid of customization - it could be just a single component of the global theme that was in use that was triggering the problem. If that’s the case, you could also try different individual components to see which one actually triggers the problem (and that could be helpful for diagnosis), so you could keep as much of what you like as possible :slight_smile:

And even if you do end up needing to stick to Breeze window decorations, they do have some customization that’s possible through the Edit button on the corner of the thumbnail (I personally like the gradient titlebar and left-justified window title):

I actually just changed out the window decorations, not the whole theme. I found something good enough, thanks! My issue with the breeze window decorations is the borderless buttons. Not a fan of flat and borderless UI design.
