User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; i-NavFourF; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)

If an iframe is positioned above another iframe, then the mouse coordinates  
returned to javascript will become invalid (event.clientY, event.clientX). 
Futher, the Mozilla context menu of the page will be placed at this incorrect 
location.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move cursor above hoovering iframe.
2. Right click mouse.
Actual Results:  
The context menu will be placed improperly on the screen, and the event 
returned to javascript will contain the wrong coordinates too.


Expected Results:  
Returned the coordinates of the mouse cursor.

This issue affects ALL versions of the Mozilla 1.7 branch (including FireFox 
1.0.x).

Testcase right click menu is in the correct position for me.
Nicolai, can you check your testcase with the latest nightly (beta) build and if
the issue is no longer present, mark this bug Resolved WorksForMe. Thanks!

WFM with Mozilla 1.8b1 and the attached testcase, but I can reproduce this bug
with Mozilla 1.7.7RC/Firefox1.0.2.

Dear Sir,

I don't no why, but my first comment on your feedback wasn't published. 
Neither was the modification of the version tag.

In response to your observation: The issue is only present in the 1.7.x branch 
(this includes Firefox 1.0.x).

We're not going to change event dispatch on branch, unless a security exploit is
involved.
