151775 - popup menu position is wrong

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
BuildID:    2002053012

If the window is maximized, when you invoke popup menu by clicking the mouse
near bottom or right side of the screen, part of popup menu is not visible and
accessible - it goes offscreen. This only happens in mail/news, in browser
everything is fine. The solution is to adjust menu position, taking into account
the size of the desktop work area.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Maximize mail/news window.
2. add several news and mail accounts so that the tree occupies the whole left
panel. Add some mailboxes to accounts. The goal is to fill the tree view with items.
3. Right-click on the bottom item and see that some menu items are not accessible

Alternatively you can select an e-mail and invoke popup menu in preview window
near bottom or right edge.

Actual Results:  The menu is partially beyond the desktop edge and not visible.

Expected Results:  Menu is moved upper and/or to the left to fit to the screen
completely.

This works for me with 2002111108 on Win2k.
Context popup menus are placed in the inner window area only. 

With 1.0.0 it also works (no part of menu leaves the screen), but the context
menus are partly overlapping the taskbar (at the bottom of the screen).
However, since it seems like this is fixed/improved now, Eugene, can you please
try with a newer build if you still have this problem?
Thanks.

Marking WFM, as my experience (1.4b) agrees with comment #1.
