Menus from Fedora virtual machine off screen

Menus from Fedora virtual machine off screen

[Gulliver Smith]

I don't know if this is a Fedora 25 question or a cygwin X question
since I upgraded at the same time.

Ever since my Fedora 25 upgrade, the menus from programs running on
the Linux box using cygwin x as the X server appear off screen at the
top left. It is impossible to use these menus.

An example is Firefox'smenu, but this happens with many Linux programs.

Is there a configuration option that I am missing in cygwin X?

Thanks for reporting this.

There have been a few other similar reports, so I'd like to understand 
what the problem is here.

For future issues, can I ask you to use the cygwin list, per [1]

No, I think this is probably a bug, somewhere.

I built an x64 Fedora 25 VM and attempted to reproduce this problem, but 
with no success.

Are you using a non-default visual theme?

Can you attach an XWin.0.log file? I'm interested if you have a single 
or multiple monitor setup, and what the monitor geometry is.
