Add a setting like fixedOverflowWidgets for the context menu

monaco-editor version: 0.15.5 Browser: any OS: Windows 10

Edited: There was no bug in the first place, so this is rather a feature request.

Hi,

we embed the editor in a div which has overflow: hidden set which I can’t change easily (it’s a custom element coming from our framework). If you set fixedOverflowWidgets: true widgets like the suggestion list are able to overflow the editor space such that they are shown to their full extent. However, this does not affect the context menu. It would be great to have a similar option for it.

Playground example: Open a context menu at the border of the marked div.

monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById("container"), {
    value: "function hello() {\n\talert('Hello world!');\n}",
    language: "javascript",
    fixedOverflowWidgets: true
});

<div style="height: 300px; overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid red;">
    <div id="container" style="height:100%;"></div>
</div>

Thanks!

Might be related to #1199. But @spahnke AFAIK the flag fixedOverflowWidgets was never influencing the context menu (in any editor version).
