Description

The context menu is appearing well below the position of the mouse pointer.

The problem is with how the mouse event is handled. The render_x and render_y positions in 'context_menu.js' are based on the position within the window as where the CSS for the content menu is based on the parent of the menu.

Either the JS could be updated to change the way the position is worked out so that it takes into account the position of the parent element, or the easier fix is to update the CSS file and change position:absolute to position:fixed.

The attached diff shows the change.

Ok, that previous patch wasn't the best. If you have issues that scroll the window the positioning off still.

I've created a new patch that appends the context_menu to 'wrapper' instead of 'content' and when working out the correct position to place the menu it also takes into account the scrollY position.
