Screen shot showing low-positioned pop-up menu partly covered by Windows 10
taskbar

Using LO version 5.1.3.2 in Windows 10 I regularly have the following problem:

The pop-up menus from right-clicking seem to be oriented by the bottom of the
screen, not the border of the Windows taskbar. This makes the lower options of
the menu inaccessible. An screenshot example is shown in the attachment.

To reproduce: Use Writer on Windows (10?). Write a text containing a word with
many synonyms, e.g. "necessarily". Make sure that this word is close to the
bottom of the screen, and right-click to get pop-up menu. If the list of
synonyms is long enough, it will extend down "behind" the windows taskbar.

Suggested solution: Positioning of the menu should consider the area behind the
taskbar as inaccessible.

The problem may be the "hanging" menu (correct term?), not the pop-up menu
itself. Experiments with very long regular menus, line "File" in Writer, seem
to indicate that the regular menu system is aware that the taskbar area cannot
be used, but "hanging" menus are not necessarily aware of this. Try making the
Writer window as low as possible and choose "Format > Rotate".

The problem is not restricted to Writer or the specific examples, but may be
specific for Windows 10. Opening a photo in Windows 10 also sometimes show the
lowest part of the photo behind the taskbar.
