Description

Issue type

UI bug (incorrect info or interface appearance)

Description with steps to reproduce
  1. Make your MSS window smaller than your screen and move it to the left side of your screen
  2. Open the Mixer in a score with lots of instruments
  3. Open the sound picker for an instrument on the right end of the mixer and open several of the submenus
  4. Leaving the menus open, scroll the mixer back to the left
  5. 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.
