Flatpak issue. Works with snap and deb right now

@Caticer seems to be an upstream issue -https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1282790

I've had this issue for ages and it seems to be a few things that cause it. But having multiple monitors is definitely a common variable between reports.

Hoping this gets fixed at some point

Do you have a workaround for this issue?

Do you have a workaround for this issue?

Set Preferred Ozone platform to X11 in brave://flags/

Did not work.

Does only happen in multi monitor setups for me when the secondary monitor is off. A workaround via a totally different issue (https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/4857): Make sure the primary monitor starts at 0. I'm doing this like so in sway:

output eDP-1 pos -1920 0 res 1920x1080
output HDMI-A-1 pos 0 0 res 3840x2160

@binarious this workaround (move to position 0 the primary display) fixed my issues.

Before:

 hyprctl monitors                                                                                                       ✘ INT  11:30:27

After changing the position:

I'm also seeing the issue. Version 1.56.20 Chromium: 115.0.5790.171 Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, 5.15.0-60-generic, using Wayland Triple monitor (built-in laptop screen + 2 monitors) I have found that the menus work on only one of my monitors - in my case monitor 3, which is not my primary monitor. It might be relevant that monitor 3 is the only one that's portrait?

Also, changing the preferred ozone platform to Wayland or X11 didn't change anything.

I can't believe that actually works :smile:

Sadly, this isn't really an option for me with my current setup (2 is primary):

You can also change it for the moment with: hyprctl keyword monitor DP-2,preferred, 0x0, auto

Setting position of output to 0 fixed my issue as well! Thank you @binarious https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/24491#issuecomment-1407630986

This appears to have been fixed for me today for hyprland. (NixOS unstable)

Version 1.62.153 Chromium: 121.0.6167.85 (Official Build) (64-bit)

[bsclifton]

Thanks for sharing you are now fixed, @iynaix! I'll go ahead and close this out. And huge thanks @binarious for providing a work-around!
