Screenshot showing menu appearing distant from mouse
When using a virtual desktop of joined displays, LibreOffice incorrectly
prevents drop-down menus from appearing in certain areas of the screen.
In particular, LibreOffice seems to use the smallest monitor to determine valid
co-ordinates for menus, and constrains them to that area unnecessarily.
Example (see attached pic):
1. Create a virtual desktop with two monitors, where the smaller monitor is
above the larger primary one, and they are right-aligned.
2. In LibreOffice Writer or Calc, click the "File" menu, which is near the
top-left of the monitor.
3. Observe that the drop-down menu appears far over to the right, a long way
from the mouse.
This makes it challenging to use the drop-down menus, as you must move the
mouse quite a long way without accidentally passing over anything else that
triggers a different drop-down menu.</pre>
