I think it's more likely Apple-compatibility, but only core can tell us
for sure.  A menu item which is visible n pixels away is faster to get
to than a menu item which is not visible p pixels away, even if p is much
smaller (but it is likely that p is not zero, as you have to move to pick
from a context menu).

If context menu advocates want to change minds, they should bring data.
I should dig up some references too, but it'll be after I return from
BLUE.
