We observe the following behavior in the page tree of Liferay. You open the context menu by clicking on the "three dots" menu:

After the clicking on "Permissions" I expect the "Permissions" dialog to open. Instead the menu "jumps" to the top left corner:

After the jump you can click on "Permissions" entry again and now the Permissions dialog opens again. This gets annoying very quickly and lets liferay look "kaput".

This behavior is not observed on Chrome and also not in other context menus in liferay. Only in the page tree.

After a recent update from 7.4.3.57 to 7.4.3.94 the problem was raised by our authors as before you could open the "Permissions" dialog from the top of the layout configuration page, but that option was removed somewhere between these versions.

This behavior is not consitent in this menu:

• "Add Child Page": Works as expected/immediately
• "Add Child Collection Page": Shows "jumping" behavior and needs two clicks
• "Copy Page": Shows "jumping" behavior and needs two clicks
• "Configure": Shows "jumping" behavior and needs two clicks
• "Permissions": Shows "jumping" behavior and needs two clicks
• "Delete": Works as expected/immediately
