Yes - I already tried passing {popup_id, grid_id} to popup(). Although it
improved the menu placement considerably, it seemed to be consistently out 
by approximately -10 (x-axis) and -5 (y-axis) pixels.  

I had a closer look just now and it seems that I only get the problem
when the grid is placed on a tab control. With a grid on a plain window
the placement is correct. I hadn't spotted it before because
my main test program is style.exw which has a number of grids on a 
multi-page tab window.

The x/y values I am using come from WM_RBUTTONDOWN, 
sent to the grid control.
