Bug ID: 521982
Summary: Menus are clipped at the window edge, causing some
menus to show now text
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.6.91
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: "Manage Desktop and Panels" window
Assignee: [email protected]

A screencast showing the problem
DESCRIPTION
In the "Manage Panels and Desktops" dialog, each element has a hamburger button
that opens a popup menu. These menus are left aligned on the button and clipped
at the windows' edge for some reason - unlike applications such as Dolphin,
where the menus are independent windows ("surfaces"?).
Because the menus are always anchored to the left by the button and clipped on
the right by the right window
border, the right most button's menu has no room to show any characters - see
screenshot.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In "edit mode" click "Manage Desktops and Panels"
2. In the "Manage Panels and Desktops" dialog that opens, click the right most
button
OBSERVED RESULT
The menu that opens has no text.
EXPECTED RESULT
The menu should be fully visible - there's no reason for any of the text to be
clipped.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. Even menus for buttons more to the left get annoying ellipsized text, to the
point where the text is unusable - for example I have two identical external
screens, and when I click the central button I get a menu with two items both
labeled "Swap with desktop on Screen Dell Inc. DELL U2412M on …" and the
interesting part is clipped off.
2. I think this is a kirigami limitation? I generally feel this is broken as a
concept - menus should be free floating and if they need to be wider than the
space in the parent window - so be it. That being said, I looked at some other
kirigami implementations with popup menus - e.g. kcm_pulseaudio - and they seem
to solve this by letting the menu extend to the left from under the button, so
its text isn't clipped off.
