The only glitch I see is that the menu is not opened directly below the mouse, but about halfway down the preview.

Please give us an update on how it is with the latest build.

> Please give us an update on how it is with the latest build.

the context menu ist still hidden under the dialog window with
Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@tb99-TDF (deb) 2026-01-21 04:20:04
see attachment "context menu hidden with Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@tb99-TDF (deb) 2026-01-21 04:20:04"

As fas as I could find out, the upper left corner of the context menu 
appears always ~500 px horiz. / ~300 px. vert. from the cell A1

please see also Regina's comment about the context menu here:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169581#c1
IMHO she is right, there should be no context menu in the dialog 
that changes not the preview but the cells
