Bug ID: 477371
Summary: Application menus / submenu options are outside the
screen borders on small screens (1366x768)
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.9
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: appmenu

Images of submenu placement
On Wayland long submenus with many options in the submenus become too long to
fit the screensize even if a scrollable submenu activates upon second time
hover/clicking (upon first hover the submenus are somewhat placed differently
or incompletely), the last options of those submenus remain outside the screen
borders and are therefore not readable and therefore often not directly
clickable. If one knows the option beforehand it can still be reached with
keyboard arrows.
An example of those long submenus is LibreOffice "Tools" option, other software
using the same menu framework behaves the same, therefore likely a QT
configuration issue for smaller screens.
Platform details:
Fedora Linux 38
KDE-Plasma-Version: 5.27.9
KDE-Frameworks-Version: 5.111.0
Qt-Version: 5.15.11
Wayland
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Screen size of 1366x768
2. (I have a thin top bar and bottom bar but does not really matter just
reduces the screen height more)
3. Toggle submenus in LibreOffice (Tools option for example)
4. See menus are outside the screen borders
5. Also upon first hovering or clicking of a submenu the first entry is placed
directly next to the pointer, upon second hover/clicking it submenu uses entire
screen height an centers vertically next to the pointer (Feedback/Enhancement:
It would be better to have the second become default with long menus for user
experience)
OBSERVED RESULT
Submenu options are outside the screen borders
EXPECTED RESULT
Submenu stays within the visible screen real estate and becomes scrollable
within those borders
