Description Jeremy Bicha 2012-10-24 05:31:14 UTC 
When Epiphany is maximized (which I generally do for apps on my laptop, especially my web browser), the gear menu is at the far right of the screen.

There are usability problems with submenus opening at the far right of the screen. Basically, the arrow points right, but the menu opens left which makes keyboard navigation especially confusing.

Please follow nautilus' lead and eliminate the use of these submenus.

Alternatively, maybe GTK could do fancier submenus (as seen in the app menu for Tetravex).
