I don't think this is a WM bug. The WM ( in this case, 
Enlightenment-0.17 ) is doing exactly what the code says - aligning the 
top-right of the popup with the bottom-right of the cell. The problem is 
in the logic of the positioning of the popup. I'm almost done on a solution.

Thanks for the post though :)
