Window menu on other monitor

Description of problem:

There are 3 monitors in this setup, on 2 graphics cards.
Window menus show up on the second monitor if the window is on the third monitor.
The menu shows up on the same monitor if the window is on either of the other two monitors.

See the attached screenshot.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora 23.



How reproducible:

Not all programs are affected. It seems like Qt applications (VLC) are. PCManFM is also affected. Leafpad is not.

Tried different DEs: Cinnamon, KDE, Mate



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open almost any program that has a menu (not the triple burger icon in Gedit).
2. Move the window to the third monitor, or maybe to one on your second graphics card.
3. Open the menu. It will show up on the wrong monitor.



Actual results:

Menu shows up on another monitor, which is really awkward.
See screenshot.



Expected results:

Menu should show up on the same monitor.



Additional info:

Works on either of the other two monitors.

Sounds like the issue encountered with people using DISPLAYLINK - essentially two graphic cards.

We've found downgrading to F22 XOrg fixes the issue ...

dnf –showduplicates –allowerasing –releasever=22 downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg 



( See comments on http://nothen.com.ar/en/support-for-displaylink-adapters-on-linux/ )

I've yet to find a big reported against Xorg

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 16:12:34 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 19:36:49 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

After upgrading to Fedora 24, it does not seem to happen anymore. At least with VLC.
