(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect)

Description

[Tonio Loewald]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

If you have FireFox's window in a non-primary display (i.e. not the menubar
display) the auto-complete popup appears in the primary display.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run FireFox on a dual display Mac system
2. drag window to secondary display
3. go to google.com
4. enter a search term and press enter
5. go back and start typing the same term

Actual Results:  
After completing the steps above you will see the autocomplete floating in the
main display.

Expected Results:  
The autocomplete should be next to the text field into which you are typing.

(In general, FireFox needs to by multi-display aware.)
