Right click menu not always opened at mouse pointer

[btb67]

I have a set up with 3 monitors. Recently I have a problem with the right click menu. The menu sometimes appears at the top of the screen when I right click, sometimes at the top of the screen on another monitor. sometimes I don’t see any right click menu, I suspect its opened ‘out of vision’.

Some apps are not effected but some are, in some apps the menu options (the tabs at the top) also open at the top of a screen.

When first booted up everything is normal, then it can be a few minutes or longer then this starts happening again.

I’ve had this 3 monitor set up for years and its only recently I have this behaviour.

I changed the driver for the Nvidia card to nouveau and it seems to have fixed it, though mouse movement and browser is now jerky.

Update it didn’t ix it, so driver not responsible

I think I have resolved it this time, I was using the ZEN kernel, now gone back to Linux 5.19.3-arch1-1 x86_64 and so far so good.
