SUMMARY
Using appmenu, when the menu doesn't have enough space to open hierarchies on the right of menu, it opens them over the menu, rendering access to upper hierarchy impossible.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Move window so that appmenu icon is close to the right screen border
2. open appmenu from window title bar
3. Navigate a menu with multiple hierarchies

OBSERVED RESULT
See menu hierarchies open over each other

EXPECTED RESULT
Hierarchies open to the left of main menu, leaving the main menu accessible

This is upstream Qt behavior it can also be observed in "normal menus". A proper solution is in the works.
