Bug ID: 409000
Summary: Launcher menu should align with panel extents

screenshot showing the problem
SUMMARY
In previous releases, when the panel width is less than the width of the
screen, the application launcher menu would align itself so that moving
vertically after clicking the launcher in the panel would end up in the
left-most entry, Favorites. However, since 5.16, the behavior has changed and
the launcher menu is centered with the launcher in the panel. This makes it
difficult to reach the Favorites as moving the mouse vertically down switches
the page to Applications (by default, these can be reordered).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Reduce panel width to not span the entire desktop
2. Click on the application launcher
3. Move to nearest point in the menu.
OBSERVED RESULT
The nearest point in the menu causes the menu to change page to the item
closest to the center, not the item on the left most end, which is in fact what
is shown by default (implying a default selection).
EXPECTED RESULT
The menu should be aligned with the panel so that the left most page gets
selected if the mouse moves from the launcher button to the launcher menu. This
may need to be different for RTL languages, I imagine. Generally, aligning the
menu popup to the extent of the panel should work for both cases.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
See attached screenshot.
