Created attachment 67836 [details] example of menu partially hidden. if col A is wider, the menu will be completely invisible. how to reproduce 1) set the sheet as Right To Left (e.g. by right-clicking on sheet tab) 2) move the cursor to any cell on first column (Col A is on the right now) 3) enlarge width of column A to twice the width of the context menu (on my system it's 5.62 cm, YMMV. Try 6 cm to be sure) 4) press the "context menu button" on your keyboard (it's usually found between the right Ctrl and right Alt keys) 5) maximize the window, or otherwise match Calc's right window edge with the screens right edge. 6) no menu is shown, but the arrow keys are NOT moving the cursor - that's because the menu is opened, but beyond the right edge of the screen. - you can still select an item, but you can't see your selection. (it sounds like an easter egg, but it's an annoying usability bug) notes: * menu is opened correctly does works well if you use the mouse's right button. * it works well from the 2nd (B) column and forth, regardless of the column widths * (it's as annoying as it is funny) possible solution: reverse the position of left-to-right context menu. this issue is dealt with well in LTR mode.
Is this still an issue in the latest stable 4.0.x release?
yes. i downloaded v4 just now, and confirmed the bug. however, i may be the only person in the world who's unfortunate enough to work on rtl in libreoffice calc and using the keyboard for invoking the context menu?
