If the main view of a panelmultiview takes up more vertical space than is available, or if the same happens in a Photon subview, the height of the popup panel isn't limited correctly.

This affects the non-Photon main view after bug 1009116.

Paolo, it'd super useful if you could tell me how I can get into the state where I can implement and test a fix? Is it as simple as moving the browser window partly off-screen below and opening the app menu?

I can do that by moving the menu anchor to the middle of the screen, then opening the developer subview in the Photon version.

I found out what seems to be a reliable method to get the correct position, even with multiple screens. The code had to borrow the following logic from "tabbrowser.xml", because "window.screen" might return the wrong screen, making the math a little bit more complicated:

We have to know the height of the arrow in advance, since the panel isn't open when we compute the height. I think we can set a value for each platform, but if they turn out to be similar, we might go for a single value for all platforms.
