Zoom 5.11.10 and 5.11.9. In a meeting using KDE on Wayland right click menus appear at random places on the screen and clicking outside the menu does not cause it to close, though using the Esc key does. Also clicking on the shield icon at the top left of the meeting only produces the dialogue for a brief flash and it then disappears.
It all works correctly though if I run Zoom with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP set to GNOME.

For some reason Zoom doesn't use context menu pop-ups, which are more portable and semantically right here. Instead it open new window, mimic it as menu and position in right place. And this only work in X11. Wayland doesn't have universal protocol extension that support window positioning so they open always in center.
This especially visible in wayland/tiling compositors, where these context menus even have window-decorations and they are placed incorrectly, because they are treated like windows.
