For keyboard users in horizontal layout of the address book, the context menu of a contact pops up way too far on the right, which is pretty unergonomic.

STR

  • select contact(s)
  • press the (context) menu key on any Windows keyboard (or Shift+F10)

Actual

  • the context menu of a contact pops up way too far on the right, which is pretty unergonomic.

Expected

  • Most users will be looking at the name column when they go for the contextual actions, so for easy association and ux-error-prevention the context menu should pop up directly under the name, i.e. left-aligned on the results list (maybe different for LTR), underneath the focused row as in TB 91.
Summary: Using context menu key, the context menu of contacts in horizontal layout pops up way too far on the right → Using Windows `menu key`, the context menu of contacts in horizontal layout pops up way too far on the right

Let's move this in the right place.
