It's pretty inconvenient when you right-click on an AB or contact in address book, and the context menu pops up somewhere else, but not where you clicked, requiring extra mouse moves. Horizontal layout is most affected.

STR

- right-click on the icon or in the middle of an **address book item** in directory pane
- right-click on the icon, the first name, or in the middle of a **contact item** in the list of contacts
- Do `Change the list order > Switch to horizontal layout`, and right-click e.g. on the email address of a contact.
- For comparison, right-click anywhere on a message in message list.

Actual
- context menu pops up at a distance from click position / mouse pointer
- in horizontal layout, depending on where you clicked, the context menu might be very far away from current pointer position.

Expected
- context menu should pop up at the click position, i.e. at the mouse pointer
