168127 - Pulldown lists shows up on wrong monitor sometimes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: HTML Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[Egil Helland]

I have a dual monitor setup, with Chimera running on the secondary monitor. When I use pull-down lists, sometimes the lists "pulled down" are shown on the primary monitor, not in the exact position where it was supposed to be if the chimera window had been opened on the primary monitor, but directly under the Apple menu.

This is not consistent, but it happens from time to other.

Egil, what build ID are you reporting this bug against?

Comment 2

[Egil Helland]

Sorry, forgot to type that in - I use the 0.5 build 2002090913

I see this as well on my Powerbook G4 running Mac OS 10.2 and Mozilla 1.2a

Confirmed. I have the secondary monitor on the left to the primary one. The
Chimera window is on the secondary (e.g. left) monitor. When clicking on the
"OS" pull-down menu, it first opened on the left monitor, but then on the very
left edge of the right one.

I cannot reproduce this every time though.

This happens sometimes with other applications, too. AFAIK this is a bug in OS X.

Not consistant, hmmm? Can someone who is seeing this test with a current build
and see if there is any relationship to the 2nd monitor having been 'detected'
after camino starts up vs. before launching it? if so I think this is a dupe /
i've seen this bug filed before - or perhaps filed against mozilla

Isn't this related to another bug? I seem to recall a bug about dropdowns being
misplaced.

That's bug 235850, when the selects are placed very near the bottom/top edge of
the screen.

no updates on this in about 2 years. i haven't seen this at all in daily usage
on my dual-monitor setup at work.
