Description

Environment

Linux Fedora 32 TeXstudio 3.0.1 (git n/a) Using Qt Version 5.14.2, compiled with Qt 5.14.2 R

Expected behavior

I should be able to click on a menu item and see the menu.

Actual behavior

When clicking on a menu item, it is underlined, but no menu is shown.

How to reproduce

I have a 2-monitor setup, ahdmi and 1displayport. While the system always registers the hdmi monitors, when the displayport driven monitor is not powered on, the TeXstudio menu works as it should. If I turn the displayport monitor on, the TeXstudio menu is not visible anymore - or visible somewhere it is not supposed to be.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how TeXstudio handles menu positioning under Wayland, particularly with rotated monitors. Check Qt's QMenu and screen geometry handling in the codebase. Try to reproduce with a minimal Qt example to isolate the issue.
