# /usr/bin/emacs -Q

left-click '(Lisp Interaction)'
------------------------------------------

The popup menu appears with the top just visible at the bottom of the
screen. Resizing the emacs window approximately to the top half of the
screen will make the menu visible far below the main emacs window.
All modeline menus behave this way.


Terminal output from emacs start:

bug#23231: Modeline popup menus appear below emacs window (off sceen)

Is this a click on the 'Lisp Interaction' menu bar item or a click to
get the 'Lisp Interaction' popup menu?

Are tooltips positioned correctly?  Do you have DPI scaling turned on?

Thanks, martin

Hi Martin,

This is a click in the mode-line.

Hi Martin,

I guess I should read the entire email before replying.

Tooltips are actually misplaced too, I did not notice that because I have
turned the toolbar off. The further to the right the tool button is, the
longer the distance to the tooltip becomes.

This happens with no emacs configuration (I hid my .emacs.d).
I'm using a macbook pro with retina display 2800*1800, I don't remember
setting any dpi scaling.

This was working earlier, unfortunately I'm not sure exactly when it broke.

I see.

Tooltips and the toolbar are not nececessarily related to each other.
Most entries in the mode line have a tooltip whose left edge should
appear right under the mouse pointer when it hovers over an entry.  The
popup menus should appear centered under the mouse pointer instead.  Can
you roughly describe the relative positions of tooltip and menu for your
mode line entries?

To the right of what - the left edge of the display or the left edge of
the Emacs frame?  Also IIUC x- and y-offsets are affected: Are they off
by the same amounts or proportional to the size of the display?

What happens when you hold the Ctrl key together with a mouse click to
show the Buffer or the Major Mode menus?  Are these menus off as well?

Could you try with an older Emacs?

The offset is relative to the left and top edge of the display

It seems to be proportional to the display

Yes

I compiled these versions:
emacs-24.4	same issue
emacs-25.1.50	same issue
emacs-23.4	WORKS (but has other issues)

All these indicate a problem with dpi scaling.  You might want to read
the following threads for comparison:

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20619
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=21348
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=22204

Maybe you could also try the patch proposed in one of them.

Thanks.  I have no idea why this should work on emacs-23.4.  What are
the "other issues" you see there?
