Confirming with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a5)
Gecko/20041124. After a resolution change, the previously opened Seamonkey
windows  use the "old" resolution for placing the context menu (the ones opened
after that work fine). This happens when decreasing the resolution (the worst
case) but also when increasing it (try to go from 800x600 to 1024x768 and open
the context menu near the right side of a maximized Seamonkey window).

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Note probable relation to bug 258046. This might well be a generic problem with Firefox not (fully) noticing any resolution change (in addition to the descrease reported in this bug).
