I can't reproduce this with 20021014 Phoenix - URL drop-down bar looks fine on
W2k. I always use Phoenix as a window and not maximized and have never seen this.

I can confirm this bug in Windows XP in 1280x1024 mode. Move the Phoenix window
so that the pulldown menu is about halfway off of the screen. Press the half of
the button that's showing and voila, the pulldown menu is all the way to the
left. I could not reproduce this bug in lower resolutions.

I am using the October 20th nihgtly build.

I see this on linux also.  this is not phoenix specific, and is probably a dupe.

>>this is not phoenix specific, and is probably a dupe.
I see this on Windows 2000 with Phoenix 0.3 and with Mozilla 1.2b.
>>I could not reproduce this bug in lower resolutions.
I can see this with 1024/768.

I don't think this is a bug, but rather the correct behaviour. When Phoenix
can't display the pulldown box in full, due to uncommon window positions it
moves the box to a position where it can be shown in full.

Suggesting WONTFIX or INVALID.

I see this on Win2k and 20021020, 1024x768.

I get a scrollbar with a lot of items.  No displacement.

I can duplicate with W2K SP3 1280x1024 screen size.
I tend to agree with Simon (comment 7). If I hang phoenix off the left side of
the screen, the drop down is at the left edge of the screen. If I hang phoenix
off the right side of the screen (onto a second monitor) the right side of the
drop down is aligned with the left edge of the address box.

Attachment: Picture of the bug reproduced, and differences in behavior

Reproduced on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021020
Phoenix/0.3

I've reproduced this with last nights nightly build. It seems like the behavior
is different depending on the side of the screen. Here are the steps to
reproduce:
1. Drag phoenix window off the right side of the screen (slightly).
2. Bring down drop down box.
3. The drop down box will be to the left of the menu bar.

To contrast, if you drag to the left side of the screen the dropbox will be
offset and visible, but not as offset as before, and shows the correct
behavior. It really is a bug, it's just that the behavior varies so much, and
should be consistant.

The screenshot shows the bug reproduced at my full screen width, the my
computer icon serves as a stable reference.

I revise my position (mentioned in comment 7). 
Phoenix behaviour is correct, when the window is partially outside of the
screen on the _left_ side.
If you push the window a little bit over the edge on the _right_ side (and your
window nearly fills the screen (see attachment), the url drop down box is
positioned to the absolute right of the url bar. It should be positioned
relatively as it is done, when the window is partially outside of the scrren on
the left side.

I'm also running into this.  It would appear that this issue also occurs when
there is no menu item to the right of the address bar and the window is
maximized.  See bug #175679 for screenshots and notes.

[Jason Marshall]

Also, try dragging the window so that part of the url bar is beneath the
taskbar.  When you click on the drop down arrow Phoenix tries to make itself
useful and move the menu but fails.

Comment 16

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

I'm confirming the bug and changing the status. So far most people have seen
this under various windows versions but only one person has seen this under
linux. Can some linux people please test this, so that the developers know that
this problem is not platform specific.

<ncronin> move the window so that the down arrow in the url bar is cut in half
by the right edge of your screen.
<ncronin> type something in the url bar to get autocomplete to make the dropdown.
<drbrain> the popup is to the left of the urlbar

OS -> All

I'm on FreeBSD, this is a phoenix a day old (CVS)

I can even align the window such that the entire dropdown is left of the screen
border, and the popup is left of the URLbar

[Arjen Anker]

Having the same problems with every nightly build since v0.4.
On my laptop with 800x600 resolution, window maximized, Phoenix hardly ever
shows more then half of the menu, like the first screenshot.

On my desktop, 1280x1024, the problem also occurs, but sometimes it shows correctly.

If the screen is NOT maximized, Phoenix seems to act the way suggested: trying
to get the menu on screen completely.

I suppose that this behaviour should not happen when maximized, since Phoenix is
occupying the entire screen. The menu should never show left to the url bar if
there are only a few buttons left of the bar, sice it could never fit. While it
should fit correctly if shown right beneath the url bar.

Have the same problem but I confirm that when I added a separator after the
address/location bar then it fixed the problem.
