271875 - [Mac] new windows are shifted under dock when not maximized

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 218214

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrew Berry]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0 (PowerBook)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0 (PowerBook)

When I create a new window in Firefox, the window is shifted down so you can see
the top of the original window. This also means that the bottom of the new
window is covered by the dock, forcing the user to manually move the new window
up again. Either the window should be aligned with the top of the screen, or the
height should be reduced so that the window doesn't slide under the dock.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure that at least one window is opened.
2. Create a new window.
3.

Actual Results:  
New window is shifted down on the screen.

Expected Results:  
Aligned window at the top or changed the height to prevent the window from being
covered by the dock

Works for me as well

Could you try it again with a recent nightly official trunk build? (I see you
are using an unofficial build)

Still has the same problem as of the latest nightly build.

OK, I have found the cause.

When you maximize the Firefox window (The green button) and then create a new
window, you don't have this problem.
But if you resize the window this problem can be reproduced.

So steps to reproduce:
 1) Resize browser window.
 2) Open New Window(s) until you see it go under the dock

Not limited to "under the dock" - my dock is on the left side of my monitor, so
new windows "bleed" off the bottom of the monitor. And since the "find" bar
opens at the BOTTOM of the window, this is more than an aesthetic problem.
