--- Comment #4 from Alex Tatistcheff <alext at pobox.com> ---
The behavior is due to the Chromebook's default resolution.  LibreOffice does
not respond gracefully when a drop-down menu will not fit on the screen. 
Instead of allowing the menu to scroll it simply reverses the items and sends
them up off the edge of the screen.  Instead of the menu being mostly visible
(with some of it spilling out the bottom of the screen) it is now completely
unusable.  

There is a workaround which is to set the display resolution much higher which
will allow menus to fit on the screen.  This makes the text on the screen quite
small on a laptop display but the menus will display correctly at higher
resolution.  

I don't know if it's something with the menu display libraries on the
Chromebook Linux version or it's universal.  Basically, if there is a minimum
display resolution required by LibreOffice then that would explain this issue. 
I'm not sure if there is a minimum or if the capability to scroll within the
menu can be implemented.  

As a side note, the issue exacerbating this on LibreOffice is the number of
items in each of the drop-down menus.  It seems like LibreOffice has longer
drop-down menus than many other comparable apps.  If they could be grouped with
sub-menus this would reduce the height and help with this resolution
limitation.

If you still want me to confirm this exists in newer versions let me know.  I
believe I did try LibreOffice 6 when I first opened this bug and saw the same
behavior.

Thanks!
