Bug Description

The original bug in Maya RC was that in Cinnamon under Maya (or any other distro), context menus would not display when zoom was enabled. This was fixed - sort of - in Maya Final. Context menus displayed initially when zoom was enabled but the mouse cursor wasn't visible.

However, context menu functionality remains badly broken, to whit:

1) Enable zoom via adding the Accessibility panel applet and turning zoom on - context menus will zoom correctly
2) Go to keyboard shortcuts and map Alt-Numpad-Minus to Zoom Out and Alt-NumPad-Plus to Zoom In
3) Zoom in - context menus will NOT zoom correctly
4) Zoom out - context menus will remain un-zoomed even if you don't zoom out fully
5) Of course the mouse cursor will be invisible in zoom mode

Only a reboot will restore the context menus to normal but zooming in or out using the shortcut keys described will immediately reproduce the problem.

I'd like the context menus to magnify at the same proportion to whatever level of magnification I am using. In other words, if I press Alt-NumPad-Plus three times and the desktop zooms at 3x magnification, the context menus should appear at 3x magnification. Furthermore, the mouse cursor should be visible and magnify at the same proportion iterated above.
