intellij pop-ups appear in the wrong place sometimes

xpra occasionally lose track of where Intellij's pop-ups are supposed to appear. eg you right-click and the pop-up appears way over on the right of the screen instead of under the mouse. Resizing the window seems to fix it for a while.

I am running two monitors on the client if that makes a difference, and I have multiple intellij windows (different projects) open.

[totaam]

I can't seem to be able to reproduce it.

@facboy: can you try this trivial patch:
[/attachment/ticket/1941/disable-pointer-adjustment.patch]? (more details in #1941)

If you can still reproduce it, maybe you can also capture the "-d metadata" client output?

[totaam]

Without more details, I will have to close this as 'NEEDINFO', see ReportingBugs for generic guidelines.

Wanted to re-open this as it is happening to me, if i resize the window it resets correct until that window is hidden.
Im using I3, and it seems to be related to that possibly?

Here is what my metadata looked like for a few clicks and some fixing/unfixing

This started happening after i changed new boxes and upgraded to 3.0.10-11 (running linux version derived from CENTOS 7) previously i was using 1.0.14 and it was working fine (running in a linux version derived from CENTOS 6)

Ive installed xpar 4 on both server and client, and im still getting this issue.

[stdedos]

It sounds like a duplicate of one of my tickets #2697

[totaam]

I'm not sure if this is going to fix the popups, but the fix above ensures that the window is in the same place it was before when re-attaching to the same session.

[stdedos]

Using type hints for monitor placement breaks the libreoffice popups.

Unless I need both server and client on the same version for this to work 😕

[totaam]

Using type hints for monitor placement breaks the libreoffice popups.

Ah, indeed it does. They set an invalid position size-hint of 0,0.
The commit above should be more correct.

Funny thing that people do wrong things to arrive to the correct result 😝
