Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 98830

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, defect)

Description

[Joshua Patterson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910

All menus from a mozilla instance on the secondary monitor show up at the edge 
of the primary monitor instead of at the mouse location on the secondary 
monitor. When mozilla instance is on primary monitor everything works correctly.
This is the same as an existant bug report for MAC only called sub windows.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla
2. Move mozilla to secondary monitor
3. Click on the file menu.


Actual Results:  
The file menu appears at the edge of the primary monitor

Expected Results:  
Broght up the file menu directly bellow the file menubar. In general menus 
ought to come up bellow the menubar/ mouse cursor as this bug affects ALL menus.

This was encountered when using pinball theme. 
The modern, and classic theme doesn't cause this problem.

I can confirm this bug under
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla
Firebird/0.6  unter the std. Fireball layout.  

I (think I) found out, that this only occurs if the secondary display is on the
LEFT side or BELOW if the primary one.  If it's on the RIGHT SIDE or BELOW,
context menus are positioned as exspected.

(Strange 'feeling' to have the sec BELOW the primary one...) :-)
