Kris, can you please take a look at this?

Is it too late for 60 too? We started having user feedback about that one.
Hey David, should we up the priority of this / find an owner?

I don't think this is a webextension issue.
Correcting my last comment.  Some positioning used for the context menu event is setup when the webext panel is loaded, so the context menu has incorrect coordinates.  The bookmark/webpanel doesn't have the same issue, so I'll need to look into what is different between the two (I suspect though that the webpanel is not remote).

Switching sides of the sidebar is done with the ordinal attribute.  Once the sidebar is switched, the context menu has the prior screenX/Y values until something is done to the window (moving or resizing the window or resizing the sidebar fixes this).  The issue here is lower level, gfx layer or dom.

Kris, any thoughts on this, or who should I talk to?
Flags: needinfo?(kmaglione+bmo)
Verifying again that event.screenX/Y are wrong as received in ContextMenu.jsm _setContext

- open sidebar on left, context click
**** coords 230 271
- move sidebar to right, context click
**** coords 212 293
- resize sidebar on right, context click
**** coords 1184 314

This is on osx (59 and nightly).

browser.tabs.remote.autostart = true causes the problem, if set to false context menus show in the correct location.

This looks ok to me but I'm not that familiar with this code. Somebody who knows the frontend code would be a better reviewer. Sorry!

Why `1`? What happens if we use `0` or `Services.tm.dispatchToMainThread`?

It's fairly broken behavior in the ui, a fix should be put into 60.

I just went and tried both, neither work.  In fact, 1 didn't work, also tried 10 and it was intermittent.  I bumped it to 50 and that works.  

As I recall, I initially tried with zero, it didn't work, tried it with 100 and that worked, then I bumped it down to 1.  I probably forgot to build again (this file doesn't track well) when I tested that value.

OK, I guess, but if this has been there since 56 the urgency right now is unclear to me.
