284007 - text box caret and autocomplete menu in wrong layer

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Toolkit :: Autocomplete, defect)

Description

[Chris Alfano]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050221 Firefox/1.0+

You can reproduce this bug by visiting http://www.enom.com .  Put focus in the
"register a new domain name" text box at the top left.  Better yet, submit a
value and then go back so there is an autocomplete menu too.  Then with the
caret in that text box, mouse over the "Home" or "Domains" menu.  The scripted
menus that appear are layered above the text box, but the caret and autocomplete
menu are layered above all.  Shouldn't they be in the same layer as the text box?

Reproducible: Always

The caret issue is a known bug; the autocomplete issue is not form controls...

Suite/Core form manager doesn't use the popup, this is the Firefox/Toolkit
autocomplete widget

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
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
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
