I have several right-click activated plugins installed.  When I right-click on a
link the menu is positioned *as if* I had no plugins.  Since the plugins make
the menu longer, clicking on a link near the top of the page produces a right
click menu that goes off the top of the screen, making the top items on the
right-click menu (open link in new window, open link in new tab, etc.) unavailable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load a webpage with a link, where the page is long enough that you can scroll
to position the link anywhere in the window.
2. scroll the page so that the link is near the top
3. right click on the link.  If the right-click menu goes "down" then scroll the
page, moving the link down, until the right click menu goes "up".

Actual Results:  
the menu opens in the up position and the top several menu options are
unavailable as they are off the screen.

Expected Results:  
It should determine the correct dimensions of the right click menu *including
all right-click enabled plugin entries* and then position the menu "down" so
that the entire menu is shown.

I have google bar and eBay link items in my right click menu as well as many
plugins.  Please tell me how to upload a screenshot that illustrates this bug.
Screenshot showing the right click menu with the top links unavailable, and
also showing the additional right-click options due to the plugins I have
added.
Already fixed, will be in Firefox 1.1.
