plasmashell context menu
SUMMARY
Context menu opens in a separate window with a title bar labeled "plasmashell"
in the center of the screen instead of directly on the desktop.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect an external monitor to the laptop via Thunderbolt 4 -> DisplayPort.
2. Set the external monitor as the primary display in the display settings.
3. Disable the laptop's built-in display (only the external monitor is active).
4. Click anywhere outside the desktop area (e.g., taskbar, another window like
a browser or Dolphin).
5. Right-click on the desktop to open the context menu.
OBSERVED RESULT
- The context menu opens in a separate window with a title bar labeled
"plasmashell" and appears in the center of the screen.
- If you first click on the desktop, then the context menu opens correctly on
subsequent right-clicks.
- When both the laptop display and the external monitor are enabled (extended
mode), right-clicking on the desktop of the external monitor causes the context
menu to appear on the laptop display instead.
EXPECTED RESULT
- The context menu should open directly on the desktop as usual.
