Description AJ B 2022-03-05 05:23:58 UTC 
Description:
Clicking on a drapdown menu (e.g. fonts or font size) causes the menu to open in the center of the screen and close almost immediately. Often, clicking the dropdown menu to open it up does nothing at all.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a dropdown menu, such as the font selector or the text style

Actual Results:
Either the dropdown menu fails to open (most common occurance), or the dropdown menu appears in the center of the screen and immediately closes.

Expected Results:
The dropdown menu should have dropped down and remained open until either dismissed or the user makes their selection.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

I can't confirm with

Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community

I can only see, that if you have selected a dropdown list and click into another list, two clicks are needed (doesn't occur, if focus is in text area). Personally I can think of an improvement here.

This is a mee too. I can replicate using automatic filters in calc, this appears on console every time I click on the filter button:

$ rpm -q libreoffice kwin5
libreoffice-7.3.2.1-3.2.x86_64
kwin5-5.24.4-1.1.x86_64

Version: 7.3.2.1 / LibreOffice Community

CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.17; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+wayland)
Locale: cs-CZ (cs_CZ.UTF-8); UI: cs-CZ
Calc: threaded

The workaround:
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb libreoffice

I.e. use Xwayland, not wayland.

I cannot find a 7.4 alpha rpm anywhere to test...

The issue w/ broken popup menus with kf5 on Wayland was just fixed, s. tdf#144585.
