Problem Description

MacOS 12.2.1, Spyder 5.2.2: right clicking in spyder opens the menu right beneath the cursor, so an option might be selected by accident: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/50791152/155348584-214861ee-173d-40a4-bbb2-6494ba6584f8.mov

As oppose to elsewhere in the OS where the menu opens to the right of the cursor (or to the left if there isn't enough space on the right) https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/50791152/155349000-e30a1477-6d29-4c66-a06f-2e1c749ea1a6.mov

Hey @yotamcons, thanks for reporting and very nice catch! I agree this is a serious usability issue and it happens on Linux and Windows as well. However, it seems to be an issue that only affects the IPython console.

We'll try to fix it in a future release.
