Description Sahil Gautam 2023-07-20 17:20:42 UTC 
system specs -> Arch Linux, Dwm, X11
monitor situation -> (hcl monitor | 1360x768) ---vga cable--- (laptop monitor | 1920x1080)

libreoffice on the laptop monitor. I run a xrandr script to set the left monitor on the left of the laptop display.

issue:

if the monitor is connected -> no wierd behaviour, but if i disconnect the hcl monitor(where the xrandr thinks it is still connected), then the dropdowns on the libreoffice topbar drop as if it was a full tile or asif it was on the left side. 

doesn't matter if libreoffice is tiled or floating, the dropdowns come down as if libreoffice was either a full tile on the screen or a tile on the left.

this wierdness goes away if the second monitor (hcl one ) is reconnected with the cable.

summary -> 
-> two monitors (<hcl | laptop> both connected --- normal behaviour
-> unplugged the second one --- libreoffice pretends to be the only tile or (the dropdowns come down as if the tile was on the left)
-> replugged the cable --- wierdness goes away.

There are a few of similar bugs, but either they are very old or they are a bit different. With common thing being that all are about filemenu dropdowns(1), and are using linux + xorg(2)
