I am using two monitors, I open thunderbird and strech the window over both screens.
If it is streched over two full screens the menus are shown on the second
screen, not under the menu name. it only happens if the window is streached
accross all the way. if I leve a small gap the menus show normaly.

both screen resolutions are 1024x768

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Thunderbird
2.Strech window over 2 monitors
3.click on a menu

Actual Results:  
The menu is shown on the second screen and not under the menu name

Expected Results:  
Show the menu under the menu name

Screen Resolution : 1024x768
Color Depth : 32
Refresh Rate : 85

In windows display properties the monitors are [2][1]
1 is the bios default (PCI), but I set the windows primary monitor the the AGP

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.
