Screenshot showing pop-up menu extending behind Windows taskbar

The bug is still present in current version 5.4.3.2, as well as in development
version 6.1.0.0.alpha0+ (master from 2017-11-27). However, change of the menu
dialogues have invalidated some of the steps to reproduce, so here follows a
new description with a more general example.

To reproduce:

1. Use two-monitor Windows system.
2. New Writer document. (Full screen not necessary)
3. Fill the documents with enough lines (empty or with text) that some lines
are near the bottom of the screen.
4. Identify a line in the document about 7 cm / about 2.7 inches from bottom of
the screen, i.e. distant enough that the pop-up menu (size about 6.1 cm / 2.4
inches) can fit above screen bottom, but not above Windows taskbar (height
about 1 cm / 0.4 inches).
5. Right-click on this line to open pop-up menu. 

Behaviour: Pop-up menu will open downwards and extend behind Windows taskbar.
Example shown in attachment.

Expected behaviour: Pop-up menu should always open in a way where it is free of
the Windows taskbar.

Admittedly, the choice of the line (step 4) may take a bit of experimentation.
Still, the 7 cm is just an example, the interval has a width corresponding to
the height of the Windows taskbar. Once again, please note that the bug applies
applies only to a configuration with two (or more?) monitors, not
single-monitor configuration.

Guess: I notice that the Windows taskbar is only shown on one of the monitors.
Perhaps LO is fooled by the fact that there is a little more space on one
monitor than the other?
