Often, Plex Web ends up placing context menus on the far side of the screen, instead of next to the video selected / the cursor. ---

I’ve never seen that. What browser are you using? Do you have a screenshot? ---

Tends to happen when selecting videos near the left or right edge of the browser window. ---

Can you please take a screenshot. I’ve been trying to figure out where you might be seeing this but cannot figure it out. ---

Steps to reproduce: 1. Import enough videos into a library that they span multiple rows. 2. Select a video’s triple dot edit button by the right side of the browser window. 3. Hover over nested context menu items. Expected: Menus always appear adjacent to the parent menu or video. Observed: Often, second level menus rapidly flicker across to the left side of the screen, disappearing and reappearing. ---

Context menus are popping up right next to the menu to which they belong. Trying to reproduce this with different browsers and different libraries – still not seeing it, sorry. ---

What is your host OS? Do you have multiple monitors? Is this [app.plex.tv](http://app.plex.tv) or the local web bundle (SERVER IP:34200) or the desktop app?
