132245 - Address drop-down list not alligning up correctly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 130448

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Mark Hicks]

When I click on the drop-down list for recently visited sites the drop-down
window is always about 10 or so pixels from the left edge of the screen. It is
lined up correctly in the "y" coordinate, but the "x" coordinate always seems to
be about 10 or so. In addition, since this problem has persisted that some web
sites do not display correctly any more ( e.g. www.warp2search.com ), but I
don't know if there is any correlation or not. I can send a screen shot of the
feature if so desired.

P.S.  I love the tabs windows for viewing web pages. I have always hated opening
new windows, with the tabs I can keep the screen client window open.. just a
great feature!!!!

I see this in Win2K 2002031104 - in the address drop-down, the start of all the
recent addresses are a few pixels to the left of the start of the current address.

Why use a few K when you can use 299 bytes? :-) Here's what I see:
  ________________________________
__|[#]http://someplace/________[V]______    <- current address
  | http://elsewhere/          |^|        }
  | http://here/               | |        } <- drop-down - recent addresses
  | http://here/there/         | |        }
  | http://here/xyz/           |v|        }
  --------------------------------

Does anyone see this on a non-Windows platform, or is it Windows-specific?

Anyway, confirming, and reassigning to 'XP Apps: GUI Features'

Not sure what you mean here - can you elaborate?

of the screen.  attached is screen shot.
