Bug ID: 511901
Summary: Git plugin: When list of git branches is launched by
mouse, draw the list where the cursor is
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version First 25.08.1
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Created attachment 186665
--> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=186665&action=edit
button in question and where the menu could be drawn.
Sort of a follow-up to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=511620
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have terminal open
2. Click on the branch at the bottom bar (highlighted on screenshot).
OBSERVED RESULT
The list opens high up. When you move a mouse to use it, it disappears, because
you go over terminal, which changes focus, leading to the list closing.
EXPECTED RESULT
It either opens under the mouse, like a context menu, so it can be used with
the mouse, or does not close upon hovering over the terminal.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I actually only when filling the bug noticed this is not a general behaviour,
but is caused by the terminal, which is technically a different app. I guess
this might be an intended design then (or just hard to change), but it caused
me a lot of frustration before I figured it out, so I guess I might not be the
only one.
Hovever, drawing the menu with the branches so that it obscures the terminal
would probably solve this, while also being more logical and time saving as it
is not far from the cursor. On the screenshot, the green rectangle places where
the menu could be drawn.
The red arrow shows the movement that closes the list of the branches.
Another option (or adition) would be to use mouse wheel to change the listing?
But t hen it is not clear how to activate the chosen branch without using a
keyboard.
