--- Comment #7 from Eric Putney <ericrputney at gmail.com> ---
I see that this issue has to do with Qt and/or X11, but here's an interesting
detail on this bug's behavior. I have two monitors of different sizes, my
primary (right) monitor is 3440x1440, my left monitor is 2560x1440.
Right-clicking anywhere on my primary monitor makes the context menu appear
exactly 2560 pixels to the left of where I clicked, so it's using the
horizontal size of my left non-primary monitor as the offset. The only reason
why the context menu has been showing up in the "right place" on a different
monitor is because most people have the same sized monitor, so the offset moves
it by exactly one monitor's length. If I right click an icon on the far right
side of my right monitor, it opens on the same monitor but way on the left side
(2560 pixels to the left). I hope this helps someone somewhere with the
debugging process.

Also this is my first post, I clicked something in the status dropdown menu but
I'm not really sure how that works. Apologies if I accidentally changed the    
                bug status.
