How many alternatives do you want?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add  an Analog Clock and CPU Monitor widget on the desktop
2. Right click one of them > Alternatives…
3. Right click on the other one > Alternatives…


OBSERVED RESULT
The Alternatives popup for the first one remains open… unlike what happens when you do this for a panel widget.

I can cover half the screen in Alternatives popups. See attached screenshot.


EXPECTED RESULT
The Alternatives popup for the first one closes.
