I have recently decommissioned my main desktop workstation and switched to using my laptop for daily work (rather than only when travelling). I acquired a USB-C "docking station" and have connected two external monitors (which were formerly attached to my desktop machine). For some strange reason, when there is a Firefox window in the second or third monitor context menus (from right-click) and tooltips do not appear on the same screen as the Firefox window, but rather on the primary monitor (the laptop integrated monitor). I tried searching, but did not find anything recent or useful. Has anyone experienced this same issue? I did not experience this at all on my desktop machine with dual monitors (both the laptop where I am experiencing this and the desktop where I did not experience this are running bullseye), so I am curious if anyone has encountered this issue and if so how to resolve it.
This sounds familiar to me. I think I have observed this behaviour in the past albeit never really reproducible. I thought it might be related to starting on another screen than the browser is later actually used on, but I could not trigger it with some simple tests here.
Back when it appeared I mostly did not bother trying to fix it because for me it was only ever temporary in some situations and I could still control the rouge menus with the keyboard and avoid moving the mouse cursor all over the screens.
Just a datapoint, no solution though :( HTH Linux-Fan öö [...]
