See screenshot.

We should be smarter about our positioning. We added forced positioning to menus a while back, and now all menus are forced. But the forced position code doesn't do a very good job of analyzing the layout situation and deciding where best to display the popup.

Our menu code positioning needs to be looked at again, we have a few bugs related to it.
