Steps to reproduce
Open community plugins → click on the 3 vertical dots of an installed plugin near the bottom of the settings window to trigger the context menu in a way where the cursor is at bottom right corner of the context menu. In other words, edge detection needs to kick in, to make the context menu appear up from the cursor, as opposed to down from the cursor.
Expected result
The context menu that a mouse click triggers should appear slightly offset from the cursor and/or the triggering button, in a way that double clicking on the exact same spot does not both bring up the context menu and also execute one of the actions (in this case Uninstall) from the context menu.
Actual result
This is the case for context menus that appear below the 3 dots (because there is enough screen real estate inside the settings window), here it’s correct: https://i.imgur.com/w6Rc9K9.png
But when the context menu doesn’t have enough screen real estate to appear below the 3 dots and has to appear above them, it instead appears right on top of the 3 dots: https://i.imgur.com/pBjUydh.png - Thus it obscures the 3 dots button, and also creates bad UX where clicking twice on the same position 1) brings up the context menu 2) since there’s no offset, it also executes an action from the context menu.
This is unwanted behavior for obvious reasons, and not how it’s done in browsers, websites, or operating systems.

Additional information
Sidenote: I found it kinda odd that clicking the 3 vertical icons again does not make the context menu it invokes disappear. Just a minor nitpick which I’m not sure is intended or not, it’s just different from how they usually work from what I’m used to elsewhere and how Obsidian handles this interaction usually. For example, clicking the downward chevron at the right end of a tab bar (stack tabs, bookmark tabs) first makes the context menu appear, and clicking the chevron again makes it disappear
