Bug Description

When you right-click or left-click on the dropbox icon in the system tray (with the TopiconsPlus GNOME extension enabled or disabled) the actual menu doesn't appear above or below the Dropbox icon -- rather, it appears at a random place on the screen. This is specific to running under a Wayland session.

Expected behavior: The Dropbox menu to appear directly above or below the Dropbox icon (like in Xorg session) and not at some random place on the screen.

BUG DISCOVERED USING:
Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 x64
GNOME 3.24.0 desktop environment
Wayland session
Linux kernel 4.10.0-19-generic

I have the same issue on Arch GNOME 3.24. I guess this may be a GNOME bug?

About the same happens on Ubuntu 17.10 wayland. After logging in account, I see Dropbox icon, but clicking on it has no effect at all until I double click it. Then undecorated white menu appears at current mouse pointer position and there is no way to close it apart from clicking some of the menu items. After that clicking Dropbox icon starts working and a decorated menu is displayed.
