Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 98830

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[brendel oliver]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910

when using two screens (e.g. Laptop and external screen) and using in XP the
extended desktop mode and Mozilla (Browser, Composer etc) is on the second
screen, then when a menu (FIle, Edit View etc) is opened, the drop down menu is
opened on the first screen. this is also true for some other subsidiary windows
such as download manager

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. select "extended desktop" from graphical options of the XP system
2. reduce Mozilla, drag to the second screen
3. Mozilla can then be maximized or not, the result is the same
4. click on any menu item (e.g. Edit)


Actual Results:  
the drop down list will open on the first screen, and it is very awkward to be
able to select an item in the list without closing the list while moving the
mouse pointer from one screen to the other 

Expected Results:  
opened the drop down list on the screen where the menu item is (e.g. just under
FIle or Edit)
