GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 787075
Epiphany select fields, address-bar suggestions and right-click menu are not at the right place
Last modified: 2017-10-18 16:35:08 UTC
Some dropdown lists and menus have the wrong position with Epiphany. I don't have the problem with other GTK+ softwares. It's not related to recent changes, I've got this problem for a long time. The right-click menu can't go higher than the top of my left screen. The select and URL bar dropdown lists are on the wrong screen. I've got a special screen organization as you can see in the attached screenshots. Sorry :/. Thank you for your hard work on Epiphany, I've been using it as my default browser for years!

Oh boy. (In reply to Guillaume Ayoub from comment #1) > Created attachment 358848 [details] > URL bar This is definitely an Epiphany bug.

It might be fixed in master because we don't use WebKit's select element menu anymore and our new one seems to be screen-aware. I see you reported this against version 3.25.x. Are you testing a recent 3.25?

If you don't mind compiling Epiphany, it would be helpful to test that too. Unfortunately I only have one screen so this will be a bit hard.

(Not related: on this branch, searching blocks the keyboard input, it's a bit strange and sometimes inserts a character multiple times as if I was keeping my finger on the keyboard letter for a long time.)
I've tried 3.27.1 with the new dropdown menu, it's gorgeous and doesn't have the problem reported in my last comment anymore. Thank you! I've reported the bug on WebKit's bugzilla (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178466). As everything's fine on Epiphany's side, I'm closing this issue.
