Detached Dropdown for Menu Buttons on Screen in Portrait Mode

[St0rml]

JabRef version

5.11 (latest release)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

Fedora Linux 39, GNOME 45, Wayland Session

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

• I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. Open Jabref
2. Move Jabref window to rotated display (In this case 1080x1920)
3. Click on any menu button to open dropdown

Appendix

This issues seems to depend on the position of the jabref window on the screen. I suspect this to be dependent of the relative alignment between my two displays, because when I move the window above the edge of the landscape-mode display, this issue appears. However below this edge everything is back to normal. Also I'm not sure if this is actually a Jabref Problem or JavaFX, as I also have troubles with the issues described in Issue #9426

Can you try the latest development version? Because we upgraded to javafx21 in the meantime and it could be fixed there

[St0rml]

I tried the portable version

JabRef 5.12--2023-11-22--43364b8
Linux 6.5.12-300.fc39.x86_64 amd64 
Java 21.0.1 
JavaFX 21.0.1+6

and the issues persists.

[Siedlerchr]

Can you try this version ? https://builds.jabref.org/pull/10808/merge

[St0rml]

The issue persists for me.

JabRef 5.13-PullRequest10808.81--2024-01-20--34082ca
Linux 6.6.11-200.fc39.x86_64 amd64 
Java 21.0.1 
JavaFX 21.0.2+5

I'm not sure if it helps, but the issue does not seem to be nvidia-specific, as I moved away from Nvidia GPUs in the meantime...

[Siedlerchr]

We would like to ask you to use a development build from https://builds.jabref.org/main and report back if it works for you. Please remember to make a backup of your library before trying-out this version.

This somehow refs #10716 (comment).

Update "Somehow", because we might need a minimal reproducer. We could reuse the https://github.com/Siedlerchr/javafxreproducer also for this case, can't we?

[Siedlerchr]

Nope this is linux here and not mac

[koppor]

@St0rml could you try a version of https://builds.jabref.org/jdk-ea/? There, we build using the most recent JavaFX development vresion. Maybe, it is fixed there.

[St0rml]

I tried the portable version

JabRef 5.14--2024-04-10--aa0fa84
Linux 6.8.4-200.fc39.x86_64 amd64 
Java 22 
JavaFX 23-ea+12

Sadly, the issue is still there.

@St0rml Is there an easy script to get your configuration locally, too? Think, we need to fire up a virutal machine and neither Docker nor WSL2 help here, too.

[St0rml]

I'm sorry, I don't think I understand what you mean.
In principle, I run a standard Fedora 39 Distro with a dual screen setup (albeit one screen being in portrait mode) on an Intel CPU with an AMD GPU. I keep my system up to date. However, I don't set up my machine with a script or something similar. I apologize that I cannot be of any help here
