Floating Menu looses configuration for Positition on Screen

Describe the bug

I have configured a floating menu that should open right above the mouse pointer after a selection took place. Interestingly, both position settings ("Bottom left corner") change to "Center of bottom edge" after selecting a text.
For the records: I saved the configuration using the "save" button before recording the video.

If it's not PEBCAC, do you have any advice? :wink:

Additional information (e.g. crash logs, related issues, etc.):

You are using the text-selection example preset, correct?
This updates the menu position depending on the direction in which you selected the text. Have a look at this:

(So for example if you drag up it will show above the mouse, if you drag down it will show below the mouse - this is usually good behavior to not overlay your selected text)

Thanks for your fast reply. This will be the solution. As I would like to change the settings shown above, how can I see them for editing?

ATM, clicking on "TextSelectionMenu" looks like this:

the text selection did change trigger is available in the "Automations, Named & Other Triggers" section. You have currently hidden that from your top bar in the UI, but can still access it via the dropdown menu.

That was the missing key. Thanks a lot! :folded_hands:
