If a window is too small, GTK menus do not display correctly

if a window is too small, menus do not display correctly (eg with gedit, look at the screenshot)

Interesting problem. I would have thought that at some stage GTK menus should be able to extend beyond the parent window. Although while they're being rendered natively within it, that can never happen.

Yes, we discussed this recently, GTK currently renders these within the parent surface, nothing we can do about it.

Sounds like those bubble menus should become separate freestyle surfaces with relative placement to the parent. That would solve this bug and by then Unity8 should be able to place it correctly too.
