Wrong position of menus (and tooltips) with bottom/right panel on Wayland

[gen2brain]

Expected Behavior

The menu and submenus should be shown in the correct positions.

Current Behavior

The attached screenshot shows the issue.

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Start Wayland session with labwc compositor.

Context

There are no issues with the fancymenu, but I prefer to use plain ol' mainmenu even with this issue.

System Information

• LXQt Version: 2.1.0
• LXQt panel Version: 2.1.1
• Distribution & Version: Gentoo
• Qt Version: 6.7.3
• liblxqt Version: 2.1.0

I can confirm this on Wayfire as well with 2.1.0

Thanks, but we've been aware of this for a long time (there may be an open report about it). It's a Qt bug.

If you use Main Menu, put the panel at the top.

I only found this one #1990, but it is closed, marked as wontfix, and didn't look like my case at first. I guess I will have to leave with it in the Wayland session, I don't use it often anyway. Is there an open Qt bug that I can follow?

Yes, I wasn't sure that we had a report about it; hence not closing this one. It's good to keep track of such Qt problems. Main Menu should be OK if you put the panel at the top.

Is there an open Qt bug that I can follow?

I'm not aware of any. By Qt, I meant layer-shell-qt or QtWayland (or both); Qt's base (qt6-base) may be OK.

Thanks. I may as well try to use the new and fancy menu. I have decades of using the bottom panel everywhere, and I have used your panel since razor-qt, habits are hard to break.

You might see the same problem in some other menus, especially in context menus (Status Notifier?) with a bottom/right panel.

We usually don't wait for a fix in Qt but make workarounds. Sadly, no workaround is found for this one yet.

The same can be seen with the "add|remove to favorites" dialog in fancy menu and with directorymenu widget, only with right or bottom panels. Also tooltips cover the items with those positions. So top panel on wayland or living with it.
I've seen a Qt bug about it but can't find it atm.
