Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the platform context-menu problem near the bottom of the screen, especially with a dual-screen Linux setup and the task bar on the primary screen. Compare the current behavior with Apache NetBeans 26 and the earlier fix in issue #5917; done means the final menu items remain selectable when the menu overlaps the task bar.
