Description
0) Run Ensemble in RTL.
1) Got to Menu sample.
2) Pull down 'Options' (one time)
    - the first time it is aligned incorrectly to the right edge of 'Options'
    - CSS initial size bug?
3) Pull down 'Options' (again)
    - it is now aligned properly
4) Popup submenus
    - they are first aligned incorrectly to the right edge
    - the next time they sometimes are aligned correctly, then sometimes seemingly at random
    - does it have anything to do with the position of the mouse?

NOTE: HelloMenu has the "first time" bug but not the other alignment issues.

Are tests should be developed on this issue? Yes -> which one?

This bug is about incorrect popup positioning due to the popup width and height not being available when first shown. This is probably related to RT-30280. The clipping on the right side is a different bug, and is covered by RT-26135.

Confirmed, this is a popup problem.

I think it's not a duplicate of RT-28247. This bug happens only for RTL orientation. All drop down components are impacted: ComboBox, Menu, Tooltip, ColorPicker. And all drop down components are truncated on the right side. The snapshots are attached(tested with 8.0b88). Please help to evaluate the problem. Thanks!
