Research direction

The tray menu is the Linux client's desktop UI, written in Go; start by finding where the Account and Organization submenus are built and where their open and close handling lives. Reproduce on a Linux desktop with a tray implementation to confirm that opening one submenu does not close the other. Done when only one submenu is open at a time, each opens beside its parent, and closing the tray menu closes all submenus.

Description

bug needs investigating
Describe the Bug

When opening the "Account" submenu in the tray menu and then hovering over "Organization", the "Account" submenu (Available Accounts) does not close. Both submenus are shown at the same time and overlap each other.

The "Organizations" submenu is rendered on top of the "Account" submenu and covers its lower entries (e.g. the add account / logout entries are cut off and only the first letters are visible). The submenus also open to the left, detached from the main menu, instead of next to their parent items.

The issue persists: hovering over the entries again does not fix it, and even after closing the tray menu completely and reopening it, the submenus are still stuck in this overlapping state.

Environment
  • OS Type & Version: Arch Linux x86_64, Kernel 7.2.15-arch1-1, KDE Plasma 6.8.2 (KWin, Wayland)
  • Pangolin Version: 1.26.0
  • Edition (Community or Enterprise): Enterprise
  • Gerbil Version: latest (fosrl/gerbil:latest)
  • Traefik Version: 3.7.17
  • Newt Version: N/A (not involved, client-side bug)
  • Client Version: 0.1.1 (CLI: 0.21.0)
To Reproduce
  1. Click the Pangolin tray icon to open the menu
  2. Hover over / click "Account" → the "Available Accounts" submenu opens
  3. Move the cursor to "Organization" → the "Organizations" submenu opens, but the "Account" submenu stays open and both overlap
  4. Hover over the entries again, or close the tray menu and reopen it → the overlap remains

Environment where this happens: Arch Linux, KDE Plasma 6.8.2 on Wayland (see Environment section).

AI Disclosure

Yes. I used an AI assistant (Claude) to help structure and phrase this issue in English and to redact private information from the screenshot. The bug, the reproduction and all environment details were observed and verified by me.

Expected Behavior

Only one submenu is open at a time. Opening "Organization" should close the "Account" submenu, and each submenu should be positioned next to its parent entry without overlapping other menus. Closing the tray menu should close all submenus.
