    Description

      The QMenu and all it's child menus are positioned relative to the main window. If the compositor does not position the menu exactly as Qt expects the sub-menus are off. See attached screenshot for a case in KWin.

      A compositor has a valid interest in positioning a transient surface different than the client indicated through the offset. The client does not know it's own relative position on the output. Thus a relative positioned transient might end up in non-visible area. The compositor applies sanity checks to ensure the content stays visible.

      The sub-menus should be a transient surface for the parent menu. That way the offset could be useful for the Wayland compositor again.
