I'm asking here since I've been unable to find any info relating to this on the web :-(
Right-click menus show in the wrong place when I click on my two side-screen, but not on my main (center) screen. Clicking on the left screen results in the popup being shown with it's left edge aligned to the center of the screen if I have clicked to the left of the centerline, but correctly on the right-hand side of that screen. Clicks on the center screen are always fine. Any clicks on the right screen show menus with their rightmost edge aligned to the right of my center screen - not on the correct screen at all! Vertical alignment is always correct.
I am using a Nvidia 9800GT to output to my L and C screens, and my motherboard's intel graphics to output to the R screen. Nvidia closed driver + intel modesetting. This is the startup script I use to get my screens in their correct places:
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --rotate left --left-of DVI-I-2
xrandr --output HDMI-1-0 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of DVI-I-2and here is xrandr output:

In fact after a restart the menus on the left screen are now showing in a different place: rougly straddling the border between the left and center screen.

I see that for the first time, is that correct?

That's correct, the screen is in portrait. Also I forgot to add but I'm using i3 with no DE. Not sure if that makes a difference.
Also some more info: in terminator, hexchat, and guayadeque, the menus are displaced. In pcmanfm they are not.

Bump? I'm not a complete nub but unfortunately I just don't know where to start looking on this one :-(

Try openbox or fluxbox or similar to rule i3 out.

Thanks for the excellent suggestion! Stupid of me not to try something simple like that myself.
With fluxbox it's mostly better - all application context menus open in the correct place on all screens. However, the context menu shown when right-clicking on the desktop only shows correctly on my left and center screens (which are on my nvidia card), when I click on the desktop on my right screen (which is intel HDMI from my motherboard) the menu instead shows with it's right edge aligned to the right border of my left screen. So.. a mixed bag there. Better where it counts (applications, I don't care about fluxbox's behaviour especially as I prefer i3) but still some evidence of misbehaviour.

It seems to be related to the hybrid graphics "featureful" implementation. I would argue that there are some holes in the code when it comes to specifications and/or guidelines, but maybe there are none so far. Try openbox also, you will probably experience a very similar behaviour to fluxbox. Try also changing and rearranging the layout completely. Maybe the igpu can take two monitors.
