--- Comment #12 from Terrence Enger <[email protected]> ---
Gordo,

With LibreOffice window maximized and tables toolbar showing at the
bottom of the screen, I see:

(*) The list of paragraph styles, which has 13 entries, opens upward.

(*) The four other list of categories, which have 5 entries, open
    downwards.  Bottom of the lists are just a few pixels above the
    bottom of the application area of the desktop.

A less tall toolbar, like the search toolbar, brings the control for
the list of style categories closer to the bottom of the application
area, and all lists of style categories open upward.

So, the behaviour seems to be: open downward if there is enough room
above the bottom of the document area of the desktop, otherwise open
upward.  LibreOffice on Linux seems to follow the same rule.

I still find this reasonable.  Indeed, it seems that always opening
downward could result in something like "context menu disappears
behind the taskbar".  (Just going by what I read in this report; I
cannot look at bug 90020 as I am off-line as write this.)

What better rule do you propose for choosing the direction in which a
drop-down list is drawn?

Terry.
