[X2Go-User] Tooltips, pull-down menus, and context menus too far away

Dear all,

I've recently started experiencing a problem when running single
applications over X2Go.  Quite often small windows such as tooltips,
pull-down menus, and context menus get positioned far, far away from
where they are supposed to be.  For example, I'm currently writing this
message in Claws Mail; when I activate the "Edit" pull-down menu, the
menu doesn't appear under the menu bar but rather way over on my second
screen.  (I use a dual-monitor setup.)

The problem happens with a lot of different applications, but not
always consistently.  For instance, sometimes I might hover my pointer
over a widget that causes a tooltip to display halfway across the
screen, and a minute or two later I'll do the same thing but this time
the tooltip will display right over the widget like it's supposed to.

Is this a bug in X2Go or in my window manager?  I'm running the X2Go
Server 4.1.0.4 on openSUSE Tumbleweed, and connecting from X2Go Client
4.1.1.1 on openSUSE Leap 15.0, using KDE Plasma 5.12.6.  (I can't
upgrade the connecting system at the moment because the x2goclient
package seems to have disappeared from the repository at
<http://packages.x2go.org/opensuse/15.0/main/x86_64/>.)

Regards,
Tristan
