Research direction
No source file or test is identified in the issue. First reproduce the Alt+Space system-menu behavior with a maximized Terminal window on a multi-monitor layout whose displays have different vertical positions. Done means the menu opens at the top-left of the maximized window's monitor rather than on another monitor.
