Additional info

This only seems to appear when dragging to create a timeframe for an event. Otherwise it shows up within the window just fine.

I'll add the other logs on request if necessary. It's a bit late here!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Calendar app with Firefox: drag across a time window to create an event and compare the dialog with a non-drag-created event. Trace the event-creation dialog and its positioning behavior; done means the dialog remains within the visible page boundary after dragging.
