Bug Description
When you use the right click menu, anywhere in the system and any application, the bottom of the menu is cut off by the bottom bar. Therefor the last couple bottom options are inaccessible by mouse. You have to use the keyboard to get to them, but even so, you cant SEE what they say, you have to KNOW what they are, and where your selection would be.
I would include a screenshot, but I cant use the screenshot feature of the system because when the right-click context menu is open, the screenshot function of the system doesnt work. Another bug to add to the list....
I am using Linux Mint 12 Gnome-64-bit
This bug is ALWAYS present in the system. And has been present even now with all updates (as of 4-22-2012)
I expected the menu to scroll similar to FireFox's bookmarks menu for example, and the bottom of the menu would end at the top of the bottom bar, to prevent it from being cut off, but still scroll to allow for all menu items to be accessed.

I am having this problem on my installation as well. I have applied all updates and it continues to happen. I'm running LinuxMint 12 (Lisa) with GNOME Shell 3.2.2.1.
Quick note on the bug, it only happens to me when the object/area I'm right clicking on is far from the bottom bar (launch bar), if I right click on an object/area near the launch bar, the menu appears correctly as it should.
I've included a video of the bug.
