Right click pop-up context menu box stuck in the bottom left corner of the screen
This issue started when I upgraded to Mac OS Monterey. Unfortunately, I cannot downgrade. I am using a 2018 MacBook Pro 15.6 laptop. I use a 27" 4k external monitor, but the issue occurs with the monitor and the laptop screen. The right-click menu box issue does not happen with any of the other Adobe programs. I have deleted prefs, uninstalled and installed illustrator, zapped the PRAM, and installed an older version of illustrator with no change. I understand Monterey is a beta now but is there a fix or setting to fix this problem? I appreciate your help in advance.

When I right click in Illustrator my menu pops up on the lower left hand side of my screen instead of where my mouse pointer is.

I've been using a Wacom pen (driver is up to date 6.3.44-2) for years and just noticed there's a bug with the latest Illustrator 26.0.1. I'll make a shape in the upper left corner and right-click to get the Transform/Reflect to show but the pop-up panel will show at the bottom right corner of my screen, not at the location I right-clicked at. Definitely a bug that needs fixed!! Screenshot of pop up. I clicked on every square and the pop up shows in the bottom right.

Since the last update, contextual menu's appear in random locations on the screen, nowhere near the location of the cursor. (Cursor is at the top of the image on the selection in screenshot.)
Seriously, how hard can it be to read cursor coordinates and present a UI element there.
Come on guys, get it together.

Version 26.0.1 – Mac OS X Big Sur 11.6.1
When I place or create any object on an Illustrator artboard (or the pasteboard) and right-click, the drop-down menu pops up about 8-10cms away from the object.

I'm running Illustrator 25.3.1 on Macbook Pro M1 with OS Monterey 12.0 and a Dell extra monitor. I have an issue everytime I right click an element it just pops up always in the bottom left corner of my macbook but im using the program in my external monitor. Never happened with previous versions and Macbook. Can you please check this? (this image is from my macbook just to show, but It's even worse when using the program at the side monitor). Thanks!

Quand je clique droit, le menu s'affiche toujours dans le coin à gauche de l'écran.
1 - Je suis sous Illustrator 25.4.1 et sous MacOS Monterey V12.0.1.
2 - Le problème apparait lorsque je clique droit pour faire apparaitre le menu contextuel.
3 - Le menu contextuel devrait normalement s'afficher à l'endroit ou l'on clique droit.
4 - Le menu contextuel s'affiche en bas à gauche peu importe ou je clique droit. -

I just downloaded the macOS Monterey version 12.0.1, and it has affected my Illustrator 2019. (I keep this version because I have the HotDoors CAD plug-in that I use, and I don't feel like paying $300+ dollars for a new upgrade to this plug-in tool every time AI updates its version.) The issue I have is that now when I use AI 2019 version, the right click call-up menu always shows up on the bottom left corner of my screen instead of showing up over the object I right click on. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

I'm experiencing this same issue too after upgrading to OS Monterey. The contextual menu appears on the bottom left no matter where I right clicked.

Mac OS Monterey, Illustrator v25.4.1
I experienced this issue in normal use of Illustrator, and continued to experience after trying to restart the computer, but only started to experience this after updating to OS Monterey.
When right clicking anywhere, I would expect the menu to show up where the cursor is as it normally does, but with or without selecting objects, the menu pops up at the bottom left of the main screen. If using an external display or monitor, the menu shows up on the bottom left of the screen on the laptop despite where the illustrator window is.
