Scaling issue?
Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2025 7:44 pm
My goal is to have a custom window pop up over (in this case) a listicon upon right-click like a popup menu would - ideally with the same positioning.
The code below gets pretty close once I click in the top, left corner, but there's increasing drift when I move right and/or down over the listicon, suggesting I am having a scaling issue??
Can't figure it out. Any suggestion on how to achieve this are greatly appreciated!
