From Bugzilla Helper:

Go to the above URL and try to select menu entries from the blue menu on the top
of the page. The first drop-down is okay, while the second and subsequent
drop-downs are all overlapped somewhere on the left of the screen. Seems to be a
minor coords-problem and the menu function itself is no problem. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move mouse over "Produkte" and wait until menu appears.
2. select a menu entry with an arrow o the right ("Privat" e.g.)


Actual Results:  submenu appears on the left and incorrectly all subsequent
menus overlap the first one.


Expected Results:  subseuqnet menus appear to the right of the active menu

maybe incorrectly used IE 5.x special, or abused information. looks like a
similar problem a had on microsoft.com with the integrated drop-down-menues there.

The URL uses a script called HierMenus to generate the menus. This bug is caused
by the fix to bug 81290, which makes Mozilla act like IE regarding .offsetLeft
and .offsetTop properties. The URL in question uses version 4.0.8 of HierMenus,
which was released before bug 81290 was fixed. Since then, HierMenus 4.0.14 was
released, which takes into account the new values Mozilla returns. Look at
http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/column57/2.html for more info on the update.
(The latest HierMenus update is version 4.2.)

Bug 85104 is a tracking bug for sites that use old versions of HierMenus.

I don't have the Bugzilla privileges, but this needs to:
1. be confirmed (i.e. marked NEW)
2. be changed to Tech Evangelism
3. block 85104
4. have [TOOL][HIERMENU] in the status whiteboard
