Wingpanel seems to be positioned correctly, this is a slingshot bug

I don't think this has been fixed, but since there have been some work on Popovers in Granite, I don't remember if we already had Gala back then when this was reported, is this still happening?

I can confirm, this is still happening on both of my machines, when multiple (two) monitors are in use.
Normal placement, when using just one screen.

Exact issue happening still for me with two displays, similar setup.

It looks like other Granite popovers act properly on the second, larger display (I moved a window so the popover's spawn point was at 0,0), with the popover only appearing on the right display. So this is more than likely a Slingshot-specific issue?

Cassidy, if you unplug the monitor, and re-plug it in, is it the same?

As in, if you leave Slingshot open, does it still do that when you unplug and plug?

FYI I tried Slingshot on a multi monitor setup (external monitor on the left) and using Gala the launcher is partially placed like the screenshots above, if using another WM like XFWM it correctly places... may it be a gala bug too?

I don't know about anyone else with a dual monitor setup, but I cannot reproduce this bug anymore.

Nevermind, i can, i was testing it wrong! I will now try if the position-fix branch actually fixes it here.

The provided fix does not work for me.

This fix works for me, i stole it from tom beckmann's move-to-rect branch. That branch does not compile for me, but this one does: lp:~jaapz-b/slingshot/position-fix. Putting in a merge request.

This bug is still affecting my dual monitor setup. I've updated my laptop yesterday to the latest versions of the software, including wingpanel. Still the same.

No, I updated my video driver to NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver
(post-release updates) (version current-updates) which seemed tp resolve
the problem.
