294186 - context menu cut off at top/bottom of page

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 245163

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[gdw_62]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

The context menu very frequently expands in the wrong direction and will only
display part of the menu as a result (e.g. right click on a link and the "Open
Link in New Tab" option is displayed off screen and is therefore inaccessible).
 This is not specific to any particular site/page.  I can sometimes overcome
this by scrolling the link to the top or bottom of the page and then
right-clicking but this doesn't always work depending on the size of the page
and the location of the link on the page.  Very frustrating!

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on a link or other page element.

Actual Results:  
Context menu expands in wrong direction and is cut off at top/bottom of page.

Expected Results:  
Context menu should shift relative to the location of the right-click on the
page.  Alternatively, if the menu will not fit on-screen it should provide a
scrolling mechanism so that all menu options are accessible.
