What issue are you seeing?
The ellipsis (⋯) menu for a remote connection in the Projects sidebar is incorrectly positioned when hovering over the remote connection. Its horizontal position depends on the length of the hidden server name, resulting in inconsistent alignment across different remote connections.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Connect to a remote server.
- In the sidebar, locate the remote connection.
- Create a project under that remote connection.
- Hover the mouse over the remote connection header (the row showing the server name and the green connected indicator).
- Observe the appearance of the ellipsis (⋯) menu used to edit or manage the remote connection.

What is the expected behavior?
When the ellipsis (⋯) menu appears, it should be right-aligned, consistent with the alignment used for local projects.
Since the server name and green connection indicator are hidden while hovering, the ellipsis menu should occupy the same position regardless of the server name’s length.
Actual behavior
When hovering over the remote connection:
- The server name and green connected indicator are hidden.
- The ellipsis (⋯) menu appears, but its position is offset to the left by approximately the width of the hidden server name.
- As a result, servers with longer names have their ellipsis menu farther to the left than servers with shorter names.
Additional information
This causes inconsistent alignment and an uneven appearance throughout the sidebar.
This is a UI layout issue rather than a functional problem. It makes the Projects sidebar look inconsistent and visually distracting, especially when multiple remote connections have server names of different lengths. The menu position should not depend on the width of UI elements that are no longer visible.
