Drop-down menus on external monitor not displayed correctly #19599
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
This issue has already been observed for an older version of Darktable on Windows (see #3974)
I allowed myself to re-create a new issue as the one above was created more than five years ago, and as an occasion to add more context to the issue.
Describe the bug
Some drop-down menus are "shortly-displayed" on external monitor while extending display. Drop-downs are either not displayed, or shown with fewer choices than they really have, making them un-clickable.
Steps to reproduce
- Connect your device to an external monitor
- In the OS settings, extend the display (do not mirror the screen)
- Open Darktable
- Place the Darktable window on the external monitor
- Click or hover any drop-down menu
- Try the same with the Darktable window on a built-in display to compare
Expected behavior
Darktable should display drop-down menus as it does on any built-in monitor.
