Attached image folder-popup.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:136.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/136.0

Steps to reproduce:

  • Create a folder in the bookmark bar
  • Create a folder inside the folder just created
  • Right click on the new folder to open a context menu

Actual results:

The new popup opens beneath the bookmark folder popup, and may be completely covered when the folder content is large enough.

Also, the contents opened when the folder gets focus will be moved beneath when right click happen. This also happens with X11 but doesn't create any issue for me though.

Expected results:

The context menu should be above.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Bookmarks & History' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Bookmarks & History

This doesn't happen on Mac, so is probably Linux only. Hence moving across to Widget: GTK for more investigation.

Component: Bookmarks & History → Widget: Gtk
Product: Firefox → Core

Please attach your about:support page and create a screencast of the issue:

Thanks, that makes it clear. We create the content menu as subsurface one because we can't use xgd-popups - the toplevel popup (the small one) is not adjacent to content menu which is required by Wayland protocol.

But it looks like a bug in your Wayland compositor - the content menu (subsurface) should be opened on top of its parent and not as parent of toplevel window. Do you use Sway or something like that? You need to report that to appropriate bug tracker.

Thanks.

Thanks. I'm using Wayfire, and I've filed a bug there.
