Public bug reported:

In the attached picture - My mouse-pointer was on my 'top' display above
positioned above 'videos' window (which has Little.Sisters MP3 on it),
but menu appears on bottom display below terminal.


-- Expected behavior
I can click the background on my screens, and I expect the menu to appear very 
close to where my pointer is

-- Actual behavior
As I write this, if I move the mouse-pointer to the right of this firefox 
window & right-click background, the menu appears to nearer the left of this 
firefox window?  If I move pointer to left of this firefox window, it appears 
in the same position as it did when to the right; in neither occasion is it 
near my pointer & thus is not readily visible as the menu color is very similar 
to the firefox background that sort of hides it. 

It maybe because I've adjusted my displays since I started this QA-test
to match my setup, but in this lab-like setup my displays are vertically
placed (one above the other)
