What is your screen resolution? Are you using a multimonitor configuration by any chance?

caltrop2075 commented 3 years ago

it depends...

this happens when I am mobile using the laptop alone with the Primary Monitor

when using multiple monitors things jump to the Secondary Monitor Desktop Icons & any window that will not fit on the Primary

I had this same issue with Mint Mate 18.1

adding the ability to scroll window contents would solve this issue

Monitors Primary Laptop 1366 768 Secondary HDMI 1920 1080 Tertiary VGA TV 1920 1080

FYI huh, taking a screenshot of the preferences on the Secondary Monitor the Preferences end up on the Primary Monitor in the screenshot, Multi-Monitors is kinda flaky with Mint Mate

I am noticing the same at CentOS 8.3 - caja 1.25 (up to the lastest git commits, custom builds based on Fedora SRPMs), but only the first time I right click at the file / folder. Next time (and, any time after), pop-up is positioned higher, so no problem anymore...

caltrop2075 commented 3 years ago

everytime I open EDIT->PREFERENCES it goes off screen

ALL THE TIME!

so there IS a problem!

did it in Mint Mate 18.1 thru 20.1

only solution is to make system fonts smaller and that is NOT going to happen
