    More context:

    My setup is like discribed. My laptop is "Display 1", and my two monitors are "Display 2" and "Display 3". I want to use the editor on "Display 2", but if I do the context menu opens on the laptop ("Display 1"). If I use the editor on "Display 1" (the laptop) or "Display 3" the context menu opens correctly.

    Hello, sadly I still have this problem in 2021.2.12f1, I'm on EndeavourOS, using kernel 5.15.21-1-lts and KDE Plasma 5.23.5.
    Same problem as Drihpee, sometimes it'll open in the correct location, most of the time it won't

    Unfortunately the problem still persists, however it is occasionally popup on the correct location, but most of the time, it just goes into the wrong monitor.

    Unity 2021.2.7f1

    Manjaro Linux
    Kernel 5.15.12-1
    NVIDIA Latest
    KDE Plasma

    Same here on Manjaro, KDE, All dropdown windows open on laptop screen instead of external monitor where UnityEditor is displayed.
    As this issue is closed, I am wondering whether a new issue should be created for visibility.ac

    Unfortunately, it still happens for me, in various Unity versions, including 2021.2.5f1 (and 2020.3.24f1). It happens regardless of whether DPI scaling is enabled and what screen I have the editor window on. Popups seem to randomly open either at the correct position or at 0/0 on the leftmost screen.

    I'm running Ubuntu 21.04 with KDE Plasma 5.21.4, GTK 3.24.25, and three 4K screens.

    I am also facing this issue on Linux for 2020.3.11f1. Appreciate it if it was backported.

    Hello,

    I am still able to replicate this weird issue on Pop OS 20.04 and on the LTS Unity Editor 2020.3.11f1. Could you please let me know if this was back ported on this LTS version and if not back port it on the next version?

    Kind Regards

    I hope they back port this for the most recent LTS
