Description
Issue type
UI bug (incorrect info or interface appearance)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Make your MSS window smaller than your screen and move it to the left side of your screen
- Open the Mixer in a score with lots of instruments
- Open the sound picker for an instrument on the right end of the mixer and open several of the submenus
- Leaving the menus open, scroll the mixer back to the left
- See that the context menus fly outside the MSS window
Expected behavior: Once the button that triggers the context menu is no longer visible on the screen, close the context menus.
