Hi,

Just a little bug I came across and thought worth reporting.

1. Context: I have a saved session that comprises 3 windows, with 2, 1 and 4 tabs respectively*.

2. Works fine: When I right-click on the "Window" line of either of the upper two windows within this session record, I can access the full right-click menu from "Copy to new session" right down to "Delete". In these cases, the menu appears below the position of my mouse pointer, i.e. the top of the menu ("Copy to new session") is aligned with the pointer position. 

3. But when I right-click on the Window line of the third window record, the top 2 menu items are hidden - I can only see from "Open" down to "Delete". In this instance, the menu appears above the mouse pointer position, with the bottom menu item ("Delete") being aligned to the pointer. Although I cannot see the text of the mostly-hidden "Move to new session" menu item, there is enough of it visible to see that it becomes highlighted when I mouseover it. The top two menu items are presumably just positioned with a z-index below that of the top UI element that gives the time of session save and the summary of the session ("3 windows, 7 tabs")

There are some easy workarounds to this: I could move one of the other windows to a new session, for example. Or if I simply zoom out my browser view to 90%, the whole right-click menu becomes visible again.

Presumably something that is generating the page is mis-calculating how much space there is to display the menu. It thinks it has enough space to display the menu above the mouse pointer position rather than below?

* I imagine it would be possible to replicate the bug with some other permutation of windows and tabs but this is just how I found it. Presumably depends on UI font-size, window size and so on - I haven't tested thoroughly at all.
