I just discovered that this issue also occurs even without display
scaling enabled, specifically when opening a context menu near the
screen edges and the menu is larger than the visible area.

During the opening animation, the menu freezes and becomes unresponsive.

However, it is easier to reproduce this bug when display scaling is
enabled, since the menu more often touches the screen edges due to the
reduced space available for its opening.

** Summary changed:

- Nautilus context menu freezes when display scaling is enabled in Ubuntu 25.10 beta
+ Nautilus context menu freezes when opened near screen edges in Ubuntu 25.10 beta

Title:
  Nautilus context menu freezes when opened near screen edges in Ubuntu
  25.10 beta

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  While testing Ubuntu 25.10 beta, I noticed that enabling display
  scaling (for example, setting the scale to 200%) causes issues with
  Nautilus context menus.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Enable fractional scaling (e.g., 200%) in Display Settings.
  2. Open Nautilus and right-click on a file or folder.
  3. The context menu appears but becomes frozen. It does not respond to input until I click outside the Nautilus window, at which point it closes.

  This is particularly noticeable when using **Nautilus Scripts**. The
  context menu freezes every time I try to access my custom scripts.

  Expected behavior:
  The context menu should remain responsive and allow interaction with its items, regardless of display scaling settings.

  Actual behavior:
  The context menu becomes frozen/unresponsive whenever display scaling is active.

  Additional notes:

  * This issue only occurs when scaling is enabled (e.g., 200%).
  * I suspect the bug may be related to underlying **GNOME or GTK libraries** rather than Nautilus itself.
  * System tested on: Ubuntu 25.10 beta (fresh install, updated).
