Tray right-klick popup-menu is not aligned correctly ()

[erdnuesse]

Steps to reproduce the problem

Use Windows version (didn't try others)
Right click on tray Icon

What's going on? Describe the problem in as much detail as possible.

Popup-menu is not aligned correctly.

Expectation: showing items starting from the top,
(Addition: if too many items, overflow with scroll-down button -> I expect this because - screenshot.)

Reality: Menu is always scrolled, removing top items, leaving unneeded space below.

Information about the software:

Deadbeef version: 1.8.4
OS: Win 10

It is known bug, but nobody has found a way to fix it. As I remember @saivert was looking into it. I didn't work on that issue, as my gtk skills are weak. We suspected it might be some GTK issue as tray menu is working fine on other systems. I can only ask @Alexey-Yakovenko to look at the code and maybe find what causes this issue and/or give some ideas how to fix this.

I can't remember where we discussed this the last time, but I think this is a GTK issue, and the same problem will happen with any GTK app which uses system tray / status notification icon + menu on windows.

I would try to replace the code and make use of the gtk_menu_popup_at_pointer API instead where GTK will handle positioning based on the current mouse pointer location. This is supposed to fix issues with use of gtk_menu_popup () which has been deprecated and isn't working right on e.g. Wayland where you cannot use absolute coordinate space. I'm sure something similar trips up GTK3 when the popup menu is spawned outside the context of a parent GTK window. That said the popup menu behaves oddly even on the GTK2 version.

Popup menus need to know where on the screen they should appear so they can avoid overflowing the monitor edge and so on.

I have not been able to test this myself though. Just giving some quick hints that I think maybe could work.

The ticket description has the items scroll out at the top. That's opposite of what I see, and to a less severe degree.

Deadbeef version: 1.9.6
OS: Win 11

The space of the frame is enough; once I scroll all the way down through hover all items show up fine.

Given that a GTK theme is used, could it be a theme issue or intersect with theme styling and layout rules?

Searching for 'tray' in DeaDBeeF\share\themes\Windows-10\ I'm not sure where to edit things. I tried removing some spacing in tint2rc and system-tray-collapsible.css but that didn't change anything.
