This bug does not appear any more in the version Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5a has
(20031211).

This happens to me on OSX.3.2 on all the builds so far this year as far as I can
tell.

I'd like to reopen this bug because this happens for me with my monitor
configuration with Thunderbird 1.0.2 (20050317) on Windows XP.

1. No monitor attached
2. I open Thunderbird (opens on primary monitor)
3. I attach my second monitor (using Windows Display Properties I move the
second monitor to the left of my primary monitor i.e. -1280,0)
4. I move Thunderbird to my external monitor (drag to the left)
5. Thunderbird menus open at left-most point of primary monitor

Issue does not occur when I attach the monitor before opening Thunderbird.

I image it's something to do with the -1280 deal where Windows resets the
coordinates of all existing open windows when a new monitor is attached. Somehow
Thunderbird freaks out when this is a negative adjustment (i.e. new monitor
attached to the left of the primary monitor).

Can send screenshots or more information if anything else is needed.
