Dropdown/popups don't honor the screensize

[Patrick Bulteel]

Popups from applications will not honor the screen size. Therefore if you have something popup that extends to the sides or extends down will not be accessible. The same issue happens if you have a dropdown it extends out to the side and out of the screen. I've attached a screenshot to show this.

This is not a winswitch bug since this is only present with xpra sessions (well, in fact it is not even a bug with xpra but an Xvfb limitation).

For details see:

• ​context menus of applications are sometimes drawn outside visible area (closed/wontfix)
• The real solution: ​Xdummy standalone and packaging - until your distro starts packaging Xdummy, you can follow the instructions therein to install Xdummy.

Note: the solution is now available, it will be merged in Xorg upstream and in the meantime you can find packages with the fixes included, see ​Xdummy standalone and packaging for details.
