Wrong popup location for context menus in a panel spanning multiple monitors

Description

Created attachment 9623 Location plugin menu

When I select a panel to span across multiple monitors, the context menu popup location on the extended monitor appears at the monitor boundary instead of the object position.

In the first attachment, I show the popup menu location when clicking on the Directory Menu plugin - the cursor position is highlighted by a red pointer (above the folder-shaped icon).

In the 2nd attachment, I show the right-click context menu for a window titlebar on the WIndows Buttons plugin - again, the cursor is shown as red pointer.

In both cases, this behavior appears to be independent of the plugin, but common to the panel setting, so I suspect this is panel's bug.

let me know if there is a setting or workaround.
