I actually listed a range of issues. Some are in Gnome. Others are in KDE. Yet others are in the toolkits (e.g. the Qt popup menu problem). And still others are in the applications themselves (e.g. Firefox has a whole menu of Wayland-specific bugs).

I had a ton of issues with QT menus until the latest patches from KDE hit Arch's QT packages. Fixed them

Ooh! Interesting! Will look at these. So far I've reported a couple Qt bugs, well, they got priorities but no fix so far:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-87303

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-87332

If KDE patches actually make menus work okay, that's great. I've been wondering how KDE deals with the bugginess of the wayland QPA, turns out the answer's simple and not KDE-exclusive, nice.

upd: seems like no popup constraint adjustment is set on the kde/5.15 branch. Hopefully there are other improvements though…
