Description
ref: p5T066-47C-p2#comment-14974
Expected Behavior
Once the context menu (overflow button in a post card) is shown, it stays where it was rendered until it's dismissed.
Actual Behavior
Depending on where the context menu is rendered, it changes position when interacted with.
Steps to reproduce
- Navigate to the Following tab
- Tap on the ellipsis button
- Notice that the context menu is not showing everything.
- Scroll the content inside the context menu
- ⚠️ Notice that the menu changes its size and position
Note
This doesn't happen always, it appears to happen mostly when the menu is rendered to close to the top or bottom edges of the screen.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Following tab through a post card's ellipsis button, then scroll within the context menu near the top and bottom screen edges. Trace the Reader post context-menu entry point and its positioning behavior. Done means the full menu remains visible at its rendered position while it is interacted with, until dismissed.
