11 months ago The dropdown menu is absolutely one of the biggest standing issues, and is definitely a WIP in several respects. The clear layout of the issues is so appreciated.
The intent with the submenu location on the ... menu was popping out to the right, with the top level with the top of the submenu level with the menu button that it originates from. I spent quite a while trying to get that working, but was perplexed and left it as you found it. Other applications of the same searchable list code need to pop out differently, so the intent was to put control in a css class.
The fluctuating size and difficulty escaping the menu are both TODOs that I haven't gotten to yet, but are high priorities. I'm happy to accept whatever help you'd like to offer, and will certainly offer clarification if needed.

Additional context I am volunteering to help solve this, but If I can get a description or sample of how you'd like it to work that will help a lot :)
