183772 - Window title of "window.open" windows off screen

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Obry]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When I click on links or other elements bound to a javascript that utilizes the
window.open function, the new browser window appears at the top left corner of
the screen but the title bar and 90% of the menus (if set to show in the
javascript) are off the screen.

I started noticing this behavior starting with moz1.2 stable and now in 1.2.1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the demo URL (http://www.industrymagazine.com/subscription.asp)
2. Click on any of the "Subscribe", "Buy Now", or "View Cart" buttons
3. Observe the new window placement

Actual Results:  
New window's titlebar was off the screen

Expected Results:  
The titlebar should've started drawing at (0,0) or some other location ON the
screen :-)

Duplicate of 183686?

Same behaviour on XP Pro SP1. Don't think it's a dupe of 183686 as my hardware
is different (Nvidia TNT2) and Moz also exhibits this behaviour *only* since I
switched to 1.2 (still no problem in 1.2beta)

Please note that when the opened window has no menu (eg : click on one of the 3
images on http://www.argon7.be/home_ns.html ), there's no straightforward way to
close the window. You have to either right-click the icon in the taskbar +
'Close', or use Alt-F4 of course.

Tip to be able to drag down the window into the visible area : strangely enough,
changing the width of the window (by dragging its right or left edge) brings the
title bar down a few pixels, enough to be able to catch it with the mouse.

Strangely enough, I can't reproduce this bug anymore. Although it was 100%
reproductible when I posted the previous comment, it's 0% now.
My guess is that my profile has now magically "migrated" to Moz 1.2.1 and that
it made this behaviour dissappear.
Anyway, please consider it now WorksForMe.
Obry, do you still see this ?
