[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#703709: base: Right-Click Menu Goes Past Taskbar

[Dean Chia]

Package: base
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

When on Iceweasel, for example, if there is some html button I can click
that is close to the top of the screen, and I right-click it, sometimes if
the position is high enough, then the right-click menu appears, but part
of it is obscured (and unaccessible) under the top taskbar/panel (with the
Activities, Date & Time, iBus, Wireless icon, battery icon, etc.)

In other words, for an internet link, there is usually the prompts "Open in
a New Tab" and "Open in a New Window." Sometimes, when the menu appears above
my cursor, the "New Tab" option gets cut off.

I would have expected the system to recognize that there was not enough space
to expand the right-click menu above my cursor (given that the top desktop
panel obstructs the top) and INSTEAD expand the right-click menu BELOW my
mouse cursor.

Thanks,

Dean

P.S. I used Linux Mint. Now I bought a freedom-compatible computer, and I'm
glad I switched to Debian.
