316499 - Context menus are clipped

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 245163

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Chris Stacy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Quite often the context menu is clipped at the top of the screen -- items on the top 1/3 of the menu are not visible because they are off the top of the screen.   For example, I can only see the menu items below "Save Image As".




Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add some toolbars and add some extensions to get more context menu items.
2. Visit a URL with a picture.
3. Scroll the picture to the top of the screen and right click on it.

I think you have to add some toolbars and/or some context menu items in order to make this horrible bug happen most of the time.  It loses pretty well if you add these, for example: Googlebar, ColorZilla, and WebDeveloper.


Actual Results:  
Can only see a few of the context menu items (the ones on the end of the menu).

Expected Results:  
When there are too many items on the menu to possibly fit in a vertical alignment on the screen, I suppose correct solution would  be to have an expansion item ("More ...") which would trot out a subsidiary menu on either side.
