Summary0003829: External display dropdown menu offset
DescriptionUsing FreeCAD 0.18 AppImage with an external display there is a big offset between the main menu entries and the corresponding dropdown menu.

The dropdown menu looks aligned to the relative position of the main display so you can't get a window higher than the one of the main display without such an offset.

This problem is shown for the 'File' entry in the attached screenshot. This occurs either with FreeCAD and FreeCAD Qt5 Conda.

Other Qt based applications like Krita, Scribus, QGIS, and VLC work without this problem.

Forum thread: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=34109
Steps To Reproduce1. Launch FreeCAD or FreeCAD Qt5 Conda AppImage
2. Put the window of FreeCAD on the external display
3. Offset between the main menu entry and its dropdown menu increases each time you increase the height of the FreeCAD window.

After further research, I found out that the problem arises with a layout in which top edge of secondary screen (external display) is above top edge of primary screen (Built-in display of the laptop).

So, the problem probably does not come from FreeCAD.

Closing as this most likely is a bug unrelated to FC. If it isn't please re-open
