The new features added in the otter release have quite a few bugs

Bug report

Steps to reproduce

Try to enter a wifi password
Use the right click menu in launcher
search stuff in launcher

Expected behavior

a proper wifi dialog with enter, cancel, hide/show password
the right click context menu should always render within visble space
i should have a GPU selection on my multigpu system

Actual behavior

Weird garbled and unusable wifi dialog, doesn't even error
right click sometimes renders when it doesn't render into visible space, always doesn't in search mode
No options for GPU

Environment

PikaOS 4 Hyprland

Ferreo

Fixed in selective v0.11.85 (otter-desktop, otter-ui, otter-bar, otter-launcher).

Wi-Fi dialog: text used absolute baselines (password label drew over Connect). Relative baselines + Cancel / Show-Hide.
Launcher menu: clamp into surface (search mode was worst).
GPU pick: launcher builds desktop without dbus; added switcherooctl list fallback + short labels; refresh on right-click.
