1046861 - Long wrapping lines in devtools console cause autocomplete popup to be misplaced.

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Console, defect, P2)

Description

[nemo]

Encountered when trying to create a bookmarklet for a friend.  The grey suggest text overlapped my typing, and the suggestion popup was positioned to the far right of my fullscreened browser.

When I made a non-fullscreen browser for purpose of screenshotting and testing this, the suggestions were positioned way outside the browser window even.  I'll attach a screenshot of this.

Attachment: Here's another screenshot with even more overlap of the grey text, and the suggest list actually scrolling for no reason

This should be fixed by Bug 983473

Copying STR from Bug 1101887

1. Open Nightly
2. Resize the browser window so the width takes half of the screen, position the browser window to the left of your screen.
3. Open Tools -> Web Developer -> Web Console  
4. Type the following example JS: var xpathResult = document.evaluate( 'body/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div', document, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE,  );

(the xpath selector here may be ridicilous, the point is to have the command line multi lined. Add /div if needed).

5. In the last evaluate() argument, start typing eg. document (so the autocomplete popup shows)

The completion text issue seems fixed on Nightly (with CodeMirror Jsterm enabled), but the positioning issue for the autocomplete popup remains.
