We recently discovered a problem wherein the menu's position was getting
cached
once you open it at a particular location. A P2 bug has been filed
against it. (Issue 975)
Once you open a menu at a particular location, the menu always opens at
the same location every
subsequent time you open it.
Maybe the problem you are seeing is a manifestation of this?
