191832 - when nvidia card is used w/2 monitors, mozilla menus do not render correctly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 98830

(Core Graveyard :: GFX: Win32, defect)

Description

[Mike McCallister]

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 you are using an NVIDIA GeForce4 440 with an extended desktop on MS Windows
XP, Mozilla menus (drop down menus i.e. File > Edit Page, etc.) do not render
correctly.  When I say, "extended desktop" I mean that it is effectively widened
onto both monitors (they do not display the same thing). This issue effects all
Mozilla applications (i.e. browser, mail, etc.).  I will test this out in Linux
next time I reboot (running NVIDIA supplied drivers on Linux as well).

On Windows, Mozilla is the only application affected by this.  NO other
applications have this problem that I have seen to date.

My apologies if this is a duplicate - bug search appears to be down (remains on
"Please stand by ..." when I typed in NVIDIA).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag Mozilla to second browser
2. Click on a menu
3.

Actual Results:  
Menu did not display on second monitor but on the first on (where Mozilla is no
longer located).  When the menu renders on the wrong monitor it renders on the
far edge (incorrect horizontal alignment) but does render in the correct
vertical position (correct vertical alignment).

Expected Results:  
Put the menu in the right monitor.

since bug 21942 is resolved as fixed: resolving as dup of bug 98830
(by way of dup bug 101035)

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 98830 ***

btw.. some seem to work around this by changing what is primary/secondary
monitor. It used to be a bug concerning "negative coordinate space". That was
fixed but may have regressed.
