Hi all,

When connecting an external display there is a big offset from the main menu entries and the corresponding dropdown menu options. You can see the problem for the 'File' entry in the attached screenshot.

Which Linux distro?

Sounds like driver/os issue, rather than FreeCAD specific, do othe QT programs do the same?

OP, can you test on the Qt5 Conda appimage?

@jmaustpc: up to date Fedora 29 (64-bit) with (default) GNOME desktop 3.30.2 over a ThnkPad T440s with Intel® Core™ i5-4300U CPU (Haswell Mobile GPU) and 12 GiB of memory.
Other Qt based applications like Krita, Scribus, QGIS, and VLC work without this problem.

@Kunda1: It's the same with FreeCAD Qt5 Conda appimage :

It should be noted that this problem occurs only when FreeCAD window is maximized on external display.

It looks aligned to the relative position of the main display.

Hi all,

After further research, I found out that the problem arises with a layout in which top edge of secondary screen (external display) is above top edge of primary screen (Built-in display of the laptop).

So, the problem probably does not come from FreeCAD.

Is this something you can recreate in v0.19?
