            Bug ID: 144910
           Summary: In LibreOffice Calc, when right clicking on the tabs
                    at the bottom of the spreadsheet, the menu that should
                    appear beside the tab appears at the top of the
                    spreadsheet window instead on my two extended
                    monitors. #UI, #LibreOffice, #Calc, #VIEWING
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.4 release
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc

Description:
In Libre Office Calc, when right-clicking on a tab at the bottom of a
spreadsheet the consequent menu that then normally appears beside the tab at
the bottom of the spreadsheet appears at the top of the window instead. Now,
this only happens on my two external monitors in Apple's 'Extended Mode' only,
i.e. when the spreadsheet is on my main MacBook Pro screen the menu appears
where it should be at the bottom of the screen. Plus, initially, you only see a
partial menu and you then need to click both up and down arrows to then be
shown the complete menu.
I have just come off the phone to Apple Support and we have tested this with MS
Excel and MS Excel does not have the problem. SO it would appear (And this is
my telecoms engineering test mode kicking in) that it looks like the
interaction between Libre Office Calc and the extended monitor software that is
causing this annoying problem to happen.

You are welcome to contact me to do a screen share if you so wish.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a spreadsheet with multiple tabs, 
2. Select a tab then right-click on that tab
3. The menu will appear at the top of the screen on external extended monitors
and not where it should be beside the tab at the bottom.


Actual Results:
The right-click menu appeared at the top of my screen and still does every time
I use LibreOffice Calc


Expected Results:
The menu appears at the top of my open spreadsheet window.
Surely the menu should be appearing at the bottom beside the tab in question
and not at the top of the screen?



Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
I will leave my contact details should anyone wish to call me or email me about
this bug. My background was in Telecomms Engineering and I use spreadsheets for
loads of things in my life.

Just to re-iterate, this is happening on my two external monitors in Apple
Extended mode only. When I put the spreadsheet on my MacBook 15 inch screen the
menus appear where they should be at the bottom of the screen.

I honestly could not find OpenGL anywhere within Libre Office or in the system
preferences or as described in a terminal window so I have no idea if that is
currently enabled or disabled.
