Issue/Introduction

Summary: When using the right-click action to open the menu on the Tasks Timeline, the user can accidentally 'Delete' a task because the cursor lands on the 'Delete' action in the context menu. The Staffing Workspace Timeline is okay because the context menu opens slightly to the right instead of appearing directly under the active cursor.

Steps to Reproduce:  

1. As an Investment Manager with 'Tasks Management' access, go to any Investment that has the Tasks Module configured.
2. Ensure your browser window size is smaller or go to an investment with many tasks.
3. Find a task near the bottom of the browser window and right-click to open the context menu.
4. Observe that the cursor is on top of the 'Delete' action.  
   • If the user is not paying attention and clicks the mouse, the task gets deleted.
   • By design, we don't provide a confirmation message and the user may not realize the task is deleted. 

Expected Results: The cursor should not hover over any context menu actions; the user must move their mouse to make a choice.

Actual Results: The cursor hovers over the 'Delete' action which risks accidental task deletion.
