Ctools unnecessarily applying contextual-links-region class

HI,

While upgrading from 7.x-1.9 to 7.x-1.10, we are finding that something has changed in between the version that makes the css class contextual-links-region (contextual.css) apply extra styling that is visible while logged in that is breaking our exposed filters from a view. We are using latest adminimal theme.

For some reason the css class has the following:

.contextual-links-region {
outline: none;
position: relative;
}

In reviewing further, there is a file (/ctools/includes/context-task-handler.inc) where it does the following below. We have found that this class gets added to our view and if we applied any position relative using a custom classes then it causes a conflict with css class above's position attribute for authenticated users (not anonymous since it does not load for anonymous users). Not sure why the module needs to add the class since it is another class that developers have to account for.

$build = array(
180 '#theme_wrappers' => array('container'),
181: '#attributes' => array('class' => array('contextual-links-region')),
182 );
