    Question AR6 Contextual menus offest?

    Just upgraded to AR 6, and all the contextual menus have a weird huge offset from the cursor position for whatever is triggering them.

    eg (the cursor is clicking where the Current Color tooltip is):

    Is this a bug, or "works as intended"?

    Hello mattg
    No, that’s not “normal”! Can’t say I’ve ever seen that happen to me before.
    Dose it persist after an app and/or system restart?
    Which OS are you on?
    What hardware are you using?
    Dose your screen have any resolution scaling options enabled?

    Persists through system restarts, and ArtRage installs.

    macOS 10.13, Mac Pro 5,1 with RX580 GPU, 3 screens with a single space, problem manifests on all displays. Disabling Retina display support doesn't change things.

    *edit* just checking ArtRage 4, and it doesn't manifest the problem. Same clicking in the Current Color on its colour picker, and the popup menu comes up right under the mouse pointer.

    Thanks for the extra info
    This dose sound like it’s in some way related to your 3 screen setup and how AR6 handles it.
    Have you tried disconnecting the screens and then adding then one at a time to see if the actual number of screens is a factor? Is there a "tipping point" as it were?
    A bit of a faf I know but it may shed some extra light on what’s happening.

    Otherwise about all I can suggest further is to contact Ambient Design directly and explain the situation.

    The screens shouldn't be the issue (at least, no other app I have cares, nor should they care, about the screen config) - I've contacted support, but it happens in AR5 as well, and from what I can see, the problem is that AR is calculating all the menus with a fixed vertical offset - see below screenshots:

    yeah I have problems like these but they said they could not recreate the issue and me having two screens and one pen display was
    not "ideal" for ArtRage.

    my context menus keep popping up on the main screen but hardly where they should be on the pen tablet.
