Description

Right-clicking a tray icon inside the overflow popup opens its menu at the left edge of the screen instead of under the icon.

In SystemTrayBar.qml the overflow grid is created with overflowPopout: overflowPopout. Inside TrayOverflowGrid, the right-hand side resolves to the grid's own (unset) overflowPopout property rather than the DPopout id, so it stays undefined. TrayOverflowGrid then adds no popup offset, and the popup-local click position (about 33 px) is passed on as a screen coordinate.

The fix binds through a typed property on the bar root (root.overflowPopoutRef).

Measured on a 1920 px top bar, standalone popouts, niri:

• before: gx 33, menu at x 4
• after: gx 1496, menu at x 1384–1600, under the icon

Claude review

No issues found. The fix is correct: overflowPopout: overflowPopout inside TrayOverflowGrid resolved to the grid's own null property, and binding through the typed root.overflowPopoutRef restores the popout offset in the menu positioning.
Checked: SystemTrayBar.qml diff, TrayOverflowGrid overflowPopout usage, DPopout import and deprecation list. Model: claude-opus-5-5.
