Re: Popup (context) menu behavior is strange

[Ed Halley <ed halley cc>]

This is a common problem in pop-up menus.  The menu should pop up
located in such a place as not to have any item directly under the mouse
location.  A work-around when available is for the caller to add a pixel
or a few to the menu location, but the right answer is for the popup
method (here, show()) to ensure this for all applications.
