not sure if this is somehow related to the floating window?

Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, it's hard for us to understand what issue you're seeing. Please help us out by providing a screen recording showing exactly what isn't working as expected. While we can work with most standard formats, .gif files are preferred as they are displayed inline on GitHub. You may find https://gifcap.dev helpful as a browser-based gif recording tool.

If the issue depends on keyboard input, you can help us by enabling screencast mode for the recording (Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode in the command palette). Lastly, please attach this file via the GitHub web interface as emailed responses will strip files out from the issue.

Happy coding!

I have 2 monitors like this. And i right click click on monitor1,the context menu display on monitor2.

[bpasero]

This seems to be the native context menu deciding to draw on another monitor. Since a while, we do not set any positioning information anymore when opening the menu:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/e1c930d5be4e618944116b1eb09191aa99124316/src/vs/base/parts/contextmenu/electron-main/contextmenu.ts#L14-L26

I verified that right-clicking into the editor sets:

{ x: undefined, y: undefined, positioningItem: undefined }

So it seems to be some logic upstream to place it there, not under our control.

I upgrade vscode to 1.85.2. The menu is missing a few items and it works. Thanks anyway.

[deepak1556]

We didn't introduce any menu related changes between 1.85.1 and 1.85.2, so not sure how it got addressed. @z979054461 if I read your comment am I correct in assuming that you no longer see this issue with latest stable ?

[z979054461]

Sorry, i made a mistake. The problem still exists on latest version. Maybe it related to menu items length and monitor arrange order.

Also experiencing this issue. Reloading the window fixed it temporarily.

[eduludi]

In my case, moving VSCode window to the other screen, and back again to the original fixes temporarily the issue.

Guys commenting +1, -1 doesn't help for both contributors and developers. If you're also encountering the issue, react to it or open PR if you can. That's such an annoying behavior within community with irrelevant spam comments.
