297420 - Bad positioning of context menu, when large, often partially off screen

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 245163

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Vaclav Juza]

User-Agent:       Opera/8.01 (X11; Linux i686; U; cs)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050325 Firefox/1.0.2 (Debian package 1.0.2-1)

The context menu is always positioned so, that its top border is at mouse 
position, if it does not fit, the bottom border is there. If the menu is larger 
or screen resolution smaller (menu higher than half of screen height) and mouse
is somewhere in the middle, higher part of context menu is off screen.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install some extensions, that add fileds into context menu
2.Possibly decrease screen resolution (if enough extensions, 1024x768 is enough
).
3.Open a page or web gallery where there are images in hyperlinks (there are 
usually many active context menu fileds)
4.Scroll such an element in the vertical middle of the screen.
5.Right-click on that element.

Actual Results:  
Context menu has bottom border at the click-point, its upper part is dislpayed 
partially off screen.

Expected Results:  
the context menu should be displayed lower, so that it would be completely 
visible.

I use 1024x768 resloution, extension adding to ctx menu: image zoomer, gcache, 
adblock, remove-it-permanently, down-them-all, reload every, nuke anything, open 
in this window.

(But the bug can be reprodiced using fewer extension. In my worst case,
9 fileds and 2 separators are hidden beyond screen border)

Very annoying when
