GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 786357
Tooltips are misplaced in multi monitor setups
Last modified: 2018-05-02 18:51:37 UTC
Created attachment 357705 [details] Screenshot with hint way too far down In multi-monitor setups the flyover hints are being misplaced a lot of the times. See the attached image for an example, but misplacement can also happen horizontally rather than vertically.
possible dupe? https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756910 (though there are about 20 about tooltip positioning, so it's hard to say at a glance)
Hmm, I don't think it is that one in particular. My issue seems to be related to the multi-monitor setup and actually appears/disappears sometimes (right now everything appears fine even though the same monitors are attached as when I made the screenshot; oh wait, it entirely broke my monitor layout when plugging in …). In this case it seems like something is assuming that placing the tooltip relative to the current monitor rather than the entire virtual buffer is sane. i.e. the offset appears to match blank area above the left screen in the screenshot.
would you disagree that it is sane ?
There simply seems to be a disagreement about the reference point for the placement. i.e. relative to the monitor whole framebuffer
Created attachment 370120 [details] additional evidence of bug occurence I'm experiencing the same issue: Fedora 27 Gnome 3.26.2 Wayland 2 monitors, 1600x900, 1920x1080 via HDMI The issue does NOT occur in X.org
