Title:
right clicking on background - menu appears often well away from
pointer
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In the attached picture - My mouse-pointer was on my 'top' display
above positioned above 'videos' window (which has Little.Sisters MP3
on it), but menu appears on bottom display below terminal.
QA-test on hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600) - first report
QA-test on dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd
5000/6000/7350/8350)
It was also found on my installed dell [optiplex] 960 (c2q-q9400, 8gb,
amd/ati cedar radeon hd 5000/6000/7350/8350)
-- Expected behavior
I can right-click the background on my screens, and I expect the menu to
appear very close to where my mouse-pointer is (and for sure on the same
display!)
-- Actual behavior
As I write this, if I move the mouse-pointer to the right of this firefox
window & right-click background, the menu appears to nearer the left of this
firefox window? If I move pointer to left of this firefox window, it appears
in the same position as it did when to the right; in neither occasion is it
near my pointer & thus is not readily visible as the menu color is very similar
to the firefox background that sort of hides it.

Exploring this on my installed 19.10 system I found out the pattern (comment
#6)
I have an open terminal, if I right-click on the terminal making it
active, then move to background well away from the terminal and right-
click the background, the menu doesn't open where I have my mouse-
pointer, but it appears near the cursor position in the gnome-
terminal. Same response if I right-click background on another
monitor - it appears on the wrong monitor.
If I click on this chromium-browser window, so it's active, the cursor
is this being-typed window, then move the pointer to my other screen
and right-click the menu - I'd expect the menu to open near my pointer
- but it opens near the cursor on chromium.
I have music playing using `audacious`; if I click on that window,
then move the mouse-pointer to background on either display and right-
click background - the menu appears where I expect it; right near by
mouse-pointer.
Hexchat acts just like terminal/chromium - ie. it doesn't matter where
my mouse-cursor is when I right-click the background - it always
appears in area where I enter text into my IRC window.
