Description

[Martin Nischang]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2

When the curser is active in a text input field where the autofill works (i.e.
text was already entered in sometimes before, so that autofill can work), scroll
down until the text input field is out of the display. Hit the PgUp or PgDown or
any cursor key: the autofilled text is shown outside of the html render area,
overlaying the desktop area to the top/bottom of the screen.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. described above

Actual Results:  
display overlaid

Expected Results:  
nothing, the PgUp and PgDown should work and the cursors keys ignored

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

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
