Description of problem:
When using Wayland and a multi-monitor setup, Qt5 does not place popup menus correctly - they're displayed at an offset, or missing completely if the offset would make it appear outside of the parent window.
Gtk+ used to have the exact same problem: it would try to calculate the popup position based on the parent window coordinates and screen dimensions - but Wayland does not expose window coordinates. I'm guessing Qt5 is doing the same thing.
The bug has probably always been there - but Qt5 didn't use Wayland by default until Fedora 31.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qt5-qtwayland-5.12.5-1.fc31.x86_64

How reproducible:
Depends on the window location, but for a given location, happens consistently

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure you have multiple monitors side by side
2. Open /usr/lib64/qt5/examples/widgets/richtext/textedit/textedit on the monitor to the right
3. Right-click the text or open File/Edit/etc. menus

Actual results:
Popup menu is shifted to the right

Expected results:
Popup menu should work as usual

This is unfortunately a known regression in qtwayland, see [1] and fixing this properly requires significant amount of work. This can be workarounded on per-app basis, but it's not probably what we want to do for every application.

Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2020-11-03 17:04:18 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '31'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2020-11-24 17:38:23 UTC 
Fedora 31 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-24. Fedora 31 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
