Description of problem: This is a tracker bug to track upstream for a Blocker Review process. For more info, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6524 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See upstream.
Proposed as a Blocker for 38-final by Fedora user lruzicka using the blocker tracking app because: I think that the behavior is blocking according to the new criterion proposed by @kparal.
Discussed at 2023-03-20 blocker review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2023-03-20/f38-blocker-review.2023-03-20-16.00.html . This was rejected as a blocker on the basis that nobody else can reliably reproduce it, and quite a lot of people tried; GNOME clearly has code which is intended to avoid this problem, by shifting menus a little to the left so they appear fully on the screen, and opening submenus to the left if they would spill off the screen when opened to the right. It seems lruzicka has run across a corner case where this doesn't work for some reason, but it doesn't seem to be a very easy one to trigger, so we don't think this would constitute a violation of the currently proposed window manager criterion.
