screenshot after clicking summarybar

try clicking summary-bar when there are multiple currencies. the more the better.

the summarybar popup never gets the positioning right.

see example screenshot. I used mta's datafile available at https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/files/3011925/AdvPortfolioTest.gnucash.zip

Chris, what do you mean by wonky, I'm not seeing it.
Comment 2 Christopher Lam 2019-07-31 06:40:46 EDT
The list of summary-amounts shouldn't be hovering at the top of the screen. It should rise from the summary-bar itself.

From memory a book with few currencies has the list drop-down (drop-up?) lower down; with more currencies it goes higher on screen.

Something in y-coordinate has been negated by mistake.

I know this belongs to window-main-summarybar.c somewhere
Comment 4 Bob 2020-03-15 10:37:27 EDT
Forgot all about this, I think this is down to Gtk, not sure on how they decide on the positioning. I do remember a bug report about the white space you sometimes get above the list but do not remember the outcome.

Maybe https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129463 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/388633

etc.

If gtk can't fix then maybe something other than GtkComboBox may be better
