Bug Description

I'm running Ubuntu 23.10 kernel 6.6.7 both wayland, and Xorg protocols, and Gnome and/or not gnome. Although it makes no difference which kernel or protocol is running as anything up to 6.7 kernel (So far) does the same sort of thing.

When a right clicked menu item is over of the topbar, the item is unlickable. If the item is below the "Topbar", it seems to work as designed. Furthermore, there is a larger conflict with certain apps, such as Zoiper5 (A voip soft-phone application). In which the entire area of the upper right corner of the browser is unlickable, yet when it is clicked on; say to a reduce the screen (-) sign or the delete exit (X) sign the application such as Zoiper5 comes to the forefront instead of reducing the browser. As if, it has taken over the entire 1/4 section of the upper right corner clickable area.
Very strange. To actually get my Zoiper5 to work, at the very least. I had to add a gnome extension "Just Perfection" (Not a great ext, but it did what I needed, and set the topbar at the bottom, where it caused less problems.) and move the "topbar" to the bottom so as to get it out of the way of my right click menus. So this could be a Gnome problem, or an Ubuntu 23.10 problem, and/or a zoiper5 problem, or a combination of the bunch.
Although it does seem to reproduce itself even when Zoiper5 is not installed. Zoiper5 just seems to confound the issue even more.

I started having this issue with Ubuntu 24.04, so I reloaded 23.10, and tried many kernels and all caused some issues, but the newer the kernel the more issues it caused, it seemed. I hope this helps narrow it down.

No, I'm not using "Anydesk".

I have had some progress with this issue. But, first. I cannot input
into Zoiper application without typing it into a text program first, but
must still copy and paste it before entering it into Zoiper forms;
direct input will not work ...still.

However, I have found a workaround for the menu overlap issue (Not
working as indicated before). I did this, by using any Gnome-extension,
for the top bar customizing extension. This seems to have fixed the
issue. I'm sorry I cannot say how or why, just that it fixed the issue.
(It would indicate in my opinion that maybe it is a direct conflict with
the OS topbar application???)

I'm no expert, so forgive me.

This sounds like either bug 1986451 or bug 2012388. The easiest way to tell is to run:

  gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.appindicator legacy-tray-enabled false

or

  gnome-extensions disable <email address hidden>

and then log in again. If the problem is solved then it was bug 2012388.
