Menu positioning doesn't take scrolling into account

Reported by Allen Pike | October 3rd, 2008 @ 05:40 PM | in REL 0.9.21

I have an SC.PopupButtonView that resides in a div that can scroll. That is, its ancestor scrolls using CSS overflow:auto. The menu positions itself properly in the simple case, but when its ancestor is scrolled and the button is clicked, the menu still shows up in its pre-scrolling position. Conversely, if the popupButton is scrolled out of view by default, then scrolling it into view and clicking it will cause the menu to appear "in the middle of nowhere", where it would appear if not for the scrolling parent.
