No, the issue of bug 139757 is with dual headed system (i.e. an extended
desktop) only. And as with that issue, any menu extending beyond main window
frame is repositioned so as not to impact the os/DE controls, i.e. the Taskbar. 
It is not an issue with single headed systems.

As to restraining the menus or pop-up dialogs to fit within the LO main
window's bounds that is not very appealing. There is no minimum size for the LO
main window of any module, and it is common to have multiple windows/modules
open. Constraining the size of menus, listboxes, pop-ups to the frame of the
module main window would be a major UX nuisance. By that logic, we would limit
the F5 Navigator, or the detached sidebar to the bounds of the active module? I
don't think so.

Current implementation WFM and this is => NAB
