The popup does not know the panel is floating

SUMMARY
Currently, the floating panel stays afloat even when a popup is open.
As the result, they do not align with each other as shown in the attachment.

I think it would be great if the panel de-floats when a popup is open, just like it does when a window is touching it. 
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Place a menu widget on the edge of a panel
2. Open the menu

OBSERVED RESULT
The panel stays afloat, and the popup does not align with it

EXPECTED RESULT
The panel de-floats so that it aligns with the popup

We're not going to go in this direction; instead we'll make the popups touch the floating panel without it needing to de-float.
