809898 - Floating status bar overlay covers devtools

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 720186

(DevTools :: General, defect)

Description

[Thomas Stache]

Attachment: Screenshot showing Debugger UI covered by Link/Nav Status Overlay

While debugging my webapp I had a breakpoint early during page load, so the Link Status Overlay was still visible -- but:
The way the Devtools are included in the browser window the overlay covers the Debugger UI! Even worse if one opens the Web Console, where it covers the whole input box!

I can't tell if this is more a Devtools bug or a Firefox UI bug, setting component to Devtools.

This sounds quite similar to bug 630079, though it's a slightly different example of the problems with overlay placement.

This also affects the new Developer Toolbox when docked. Apperently it is inserted the same way into the Firefox window...

duping to the oldest bug possible.
