101835 - Right click Context menu pops up in wrong place

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 94296

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

Using today's linux trunk 2001092608-

With the sidebar "minimized" so you can see the grippy, close the browser.
Start the browser.
Maximize the sidebar
Minimize the sidebar
Right click anywhere on the page.

The context menu appears N pixels to the right, where N was the width of the
maximized sidebar. If you right click at the right edge of the browser, you
don't see the context menu at all.

Always reproducible.

Hmm. Not seeing this with gnome/enlightenment wm. [I do see a minor quirk
when the sidebar is maximized (i.e., uncollapsed) ... the popup appears to
the left of the mouse pointer, instead of the natural position of to the 
right of the mouse pointer.) 2001092708 rh 6.1

What's you window manager, etc.

I'm using WindowMaker 0.65.1 - I see this even with <select> dropdown menus such
as the resolution menu below the comments field here. Seems to be related (if
not I can file a new bug).

I've noticed too that sometimes I can get the pop up of the context menu to the
left.  When this happens, the behaviour I mentioned above does not happen.  Not
sure what switches the behaviour from one to another....  You can see this best
on a new profile.  After using it for a while, the behaviour switches off and on
to what you were seeing.  I'll try to come up with more reproducible steps
sometime today.

Also, FWIW, I'm on XFree86 4.1.0.  This still is an issue in today's linux build
2001092906 (I was on a profile that I had not used since before I reported this
bug).

Seen with NS6.2 and mozilla linux build 2001101202 on Window Maker
This is really bad to see sth like a 5cm offset of the context menu

After some investigations, it appears that the misplacement of the context menus
(in the content layout, only) is a more general problem.

To summarize the features seen on Linux (WindowMaker,twm,Debian and Gnome
sessions), launching Mozilla with Sidebar and toolbars visible:

1) Minimizing or hiding the toolbars (personal, navigation and menu) induces a
vertical offset of the context menus corresponding to the vertical sizes of the
toolbars.
2) With option "hide the tab bar when only one tab is open", closing all the
other tabs and leaving a non-blank page induces a vertical offset of the context
menus.
3) Minimizing or hiding the sidebar leads to an horizontal offset
3) the same misplacement apply to <select> drop-down menus, too.

The calculation of the context and drop-down menu position seems to depend on
the (0,0) origin of the content layout. I don't understand why it has been
implemented that way. The top-left position of the menus should be calculated
from the mouse position, only (modulo window limits)

CC'ing morse, the default context menu owner, blizzard because he wrote in bug
77051 he wanted to improve pop-up performances on linux and trudelle for
re-evaluation
