I’m happy to announce that starting tomorrow the 8.1.3 nightly builds will feature functionality that should resolve this issue.

`system.perspective.openPopup` and `togglePopup` will now have an optional `viewportBound` keyword argument which is used for two things:

1. A Popup with this property set to True will be shifted to open in the bounds of the viewport, even if relatively positioned in a manner which would have opened partially off-screen. If the Popup also happens to be too big to open fully in-bounds, then the Popup will be resized to dimensions that allow for opening within the viewport bounds.
2. A Popup with this property set to `True` will only allow itself to be dragged up to the boundary of the viewport and no further. This will prevent instances where Popups could have been positioned in such a way that their close Icon was rendered off-screen.

The Popup Action has this same property available to it in the bottom-right of the Action screen as “Viewport Bound”.

Please note that this property is `False` by default so as to not interfere with existing usages. To take advantage of this functionality, you must update current usages.
