            Bug ID: 430924
           Summary: Mac External Display menus in wrong location
           Product: digikam
           Version: 7.2.0
          Platform: macOS (DMG)
                OS: macOS
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

  Target Milestone: ---

Hello, 

I have a workaround for this as noted below, but want to point out the issue. 

I have an external monitor connected to a MacBook running Catalina 10.15.7. 
The External monitor is "Desktop on Display 2" and the laptop is "Desktop on
Display 1".  

Sometimes certain selection lists that popup from the interface show up in the
wrong area when Digikam is on Display 2.  First click they are in the right
place, next click they are on the wrong desktop or in the wrong place on the
correct desktop.  For example, dialogs that have this issue are the language
selection in the Description Title and Captions, or the Recent Tags selection,
and probably a few others. 

This happens when there is mismatch between what desktop Digikam is on (Display
2) and what is selected/shown in that Dock Menu.  For example, the issue arises
when Digikam is on Display 2 [external monitor] and dock menu says Display 1
[laptop screen].  The dock menu can be seen by right clicking the icon in the
dock and selecting Options. When the Display is manually set, this is not a
problem.   It seems to be caused by dragging the main window between desktops.  

To workaround/mitigate this, is to manually make sure the Dock menu matches the
display that Digikam is on through the Options menu in the Dock.  This can be
done by opening the options through the icon in the dock and select Desktop on
Display 2 if Digikam is on Display 2. 

This may be a Mac or QT issue but I wanted to point it out.  

Thanks, Geoff
