thanks but that's not a bug. The current menu item is opened on the button's
place, you can read about it here by example:

Yes, that does not explain the empty area. What is it's purpose ?
(I already posted a comment on the upstream bug, you can answer there, if you
feel like it)

thanks for the comment upstream. They probably have a technical reason for that
and will say so

As the upstream bug report illustrates, a number of users disagree with the authors over whether this is a bug or not. The fact that it keeps getting reported indicates that users don't accept the behavior as intuitive and instead see it as a bug. The initial report for this bug was nearly four years ago.

From my user perspective it IS Big and annoying BUG.
I am ashamed every time my friends are here and start asking questions like:
Why your drop-down menus are half-emty (and then re-populate)
etc etc..
