Context menu misplaced

[andreldm]

Sometimes the context menu is displayed:

I cannot reproduce the bug, you only pressed right-mouse on autogen.sh ?
Possibly the bug is caused by the extended context-menu. I dont have "execute", "Move to Dropbox" and "Create Archive" extensions.

Steps to reproduce:

• Open thunar source folder
• Right click any item on top side
• Right click any item on bottom side

This glitch happens on any view mode, not only Detailed List.
I was able to reproduce on another computer without the mentioned extensions.

interesting ... does not happen for me.
If I right-click on any top-item, the context menu is fixed to that item. The second right-click on the bottom item for me just closes the open context menu of the top item.

Even using another theme (Adwaita) the problem persists for me:

Finally, by luck, I was able to reproduce this bug. :-)

• It only happens if there are files which have a different number of context menu items in the folder
• it only happens on the lower part of the screen, when the context menu is displayed on top of the mouse
• it only happens if first a "bigger" context menu is opened (e.g. from a folder ) and after that a smaller one is opened (e.g. from a text file )
• it only happens once. If I right click the same file again, the menu-position is correct
• I can confirm that it is a regression. Does not happen for thunar-gtk2

I tracked the problem down to gtk_ui_manager_get_widget inside thunar_standard_view_context_menu.

This loads the thunar-standard-view-ui.xml . I tried to replace the loaded menu with my own dummy menu ( different size for files and folders ) , but than the bug does not occur.

Later I saw that the same bug exists as well for nautilus and for nemo --> gtk3 to blame.
However gtk_ui_manager_get_widget is deprecated. So possibly this issue is all about replacing the deprecation.
