Description

Menu dropdowns (with Smartmenus turned on) are opening upward when there is no need to, such as in the default system menu in the left column, when there is plenty of space to open in the normal downward position. This is caused by the class "dropdown-menu-bottom" in the menu code. Could this class just be removed?

In my experience (Windows 11, Edge and Firefox browsers), Smartmenus dropdowns will open upward when the parent item is near the bottom viewport edge and there isn't enough room for them to open downward. I thought this problem was resolved a few months ago but it's back in master currently.
