The WM ( in this case, Enlightenment-0.17 ) is doing exactly what the code says - aligning the top-right of the popup with the bottom-right of the cell. The problem is in the logic of the positioning of the popup. I'm almost done on a solution.Ooops, I missed the part where you were manually positioning it. Yeah, that's a tough call on whether the WM should follow that or force the window onscreen, so it's not clear which is right.I disagree that it's a tough call. If an app requests to be drawn at a particular position, then the only valid action on the part of the WM is to do just that. Consider an app that starts off-screen and scrolls onscreen. Maybe this is a tacky example, but it's perfectly valid. No, actually, here's a not-so-tacky example - an OS-X like starter bar :)
Isn't popoup an OverrideRedirect window?
If it is, than window manager just can't do anything about it, because it
simply does not know about it.
