Confirmed.  This is not the recursive widget bug.  It's another plugin drawing
issue that, I think, was fixed between 0.8.4 and nnn and then regressed
partially "recently"--at least by 1.0a1.  You can see the same behavior in a
10-21 branch nightly.  We've seen one or two mentions of this in the forums but
no bug-filings ever came of them.

STR:

1. Hover over JS menu title (Products) at http://www.adobe.com
2. Observe a white space the size of the plugin white-out text and graphics
further down on the page (part of the purple swirl, the Get Elements 4.0, etc.)

In 0.8.4, that white area was a second copy of the plugin.

I'll see if I can't track down the mentions of this in the forum and get a
regression window, if this was indeed fixed at some point between 0.8.4 and 1.0a1.

Oh, Chris mentioned the other case I remembered in bug 295373 comment 9.  It's
different because the offset is above rather than below and the plugin drew over
the chrome, too, not just the page:

Hmm.

Works: Cm 2005-08-27-04 (1.8 branch)
Fails: Cm 2005-08-28-04 (1.8 branch)
Regression window: http://tinyurl.com/7jz3z

Nothing looks remotely interesting at all in that range, at least not to me. :-(

This happened because the patch from bug 312563 didn't actually make it onto the
branch. I just checked it in there, and it fixes this bug.

We have other bugs about plugins drawing over the chrome; I see it faily often
with Flash too.
