DesktopDropdownMenuPositionProvider currently implements a discontinuous choice for horizontally positioning the dropdown relative to its anchor. Specifically, if the desired horizontal position (aligned with the left of the anchor) doesn't fit in the screen, it will align the dropdown with the right of the window. This is wrong if the reason it doesn't fit is because the anchor is at negative coordinates.
