Context menu in nautilus is often blocked by the auto-hide taskbar


When the context menu in nautilus gets long, the taskbar (with auto-hide enabled) will block it. (like in the bottom)

Have you tried using the scroll wheel? The context menu in Enlightenment DE in Zorin does the same without auto-hide and using the mousewheel allows me to scroll down the menu.

That unfortunately doesn't work.

There would be an Option but I'm not sure if it is a good One. When You go in the Taskbar Settings and there click on the Gear Icon of the Autohide Option on the ''Style'' Tab, You see there this Point:

When You turn off the Toggle the Taskbar diaappearsand only appears when You go with the Mouse to the bottom - even on the Desktop. So, there isn't an Interruption like on Your Picture:

neither this toggle enabled nor disabled works.

Okay, could You maybe post a Screenshot of Your Seetings from the Taskbar - I mean from the Autohide Settings.

Could you maybe translate Point 1? And the Option on Point 2 I have deactivated.

the first is only focused window triggers the panel.
the second is show the panel when the screen border got some cursor stress.

i tried in virtual machine and found it seems like distros with GNOME43.9 and dash-to-dock installed all had the context menu overlapping with the taskbar. maybe waiting the next version of zorin with a newer GNOME could be the only solution.

thanks a lot.

You could try it on Ubuntu in a VM; it has a newer Gnome Version.
