that really is wild. I bet it's because the date field itself gets right
justified against the edge? Maybe a style is bleeding through into the context
menu. This will be a great help wanted bug for someone looking to get their feet
wet.

I think a better approach to fixing this would be to put a selector on the
context menu popup to over ride the text alignment..

something like:

#collapseddateValue > popup > menuitem {
  text-align: left;
}

except that doesn't actually work. The syntax needs adjusted to something that
will work.
