If you change the desktop font size to anything smaller than 12pt
(I've set mine to 7pt), then click MENU over a file in a directory
window, the resulting Filer menu is positioned too far to the left,
which sometimes results in the Display or File '' sub-menu opening
automatically.
I suspect something is trying to calculate the centre position for the
menu but failing when smaller font sizes are in use.
The Style Guide says (page 95):
"You must open a menu 64 OS units to the left of the pointer's position
when Menu was pressed."
It seems to be a lot more than that. About 3 times I think, but it could
be dependent on the width of the menu, I do not know.
From observation, it seems to be a fixed offset.
[Sudden flash of inspiration] ... Using WimpInfo to check, it's 'always'
(for a sample size of four on different length filenames) 192 OS units, or
-- as Jan-Jaap said -- 3 times the correct offset. Oops.
