User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041013
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041013

when Editing a document in a window that is not maximized. Right Clicking to
bring up a command window opens that window in the opposit side of the screen,
not next to the mouse pointer as it did in earlier versions.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Composer window
2. Click the minimize/maximize button on upper right side of window
3. Move minimized window the right side of screen
4. Go anywhere in the editor and right click - the resulting editor command
window opens on the left side of the screen

Actual Results:  
the resulting editor command window opens on the left side of the screen, as if
the editor was running on the left.

Expected Results:  
The window should have opened under and to the right of the mouse pointer

This was working in the September releases, but I first noticed it in the
October  12 release.

This also works on any window not maximized. The edit window opens over on the
left side of the screen.

Also is a problem in the main Browser pulldown favorites windows if browser
isn't oriented to left of screen.

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

I followed the steps to reproduce and I get the expected results. Seamonkey 1.1a
rv: 1.9a1 build 2005100505 under XP Pro SP2 here.

Reporter, is the problem still happening in a recent nightly build?
