repro:
1. go to the searchbar and hover over the searchengine icon until the tooltip shows up
2. press the searchbar pulldown and hover over the searchengines there and wait for the tooltip to pop up.

result:
Tooltip pops up way to the left.

this must have regressed some time between 1.0 and 1.5

I'm sorry, this is apparently a regression from bug 311653...

    
    

    
  
Ugh, popups suck.

Any chance you can fix this asap ?


    
    

    
  
This one is really a bit too visable -> ?1.8rc1

This is certainly not something worth blocking a release for, there are more important things than tooltip positioning! :)

The only solution even worth considering at this point would be to back out bug 311653, and I'd argue that that bug is worse than this one.

    
    

    
  
I see what the screenshot shows, not 5 cm from the cursor

My tooltips show up in the same position, but I have my searchbar next to the menubar


    
    

    
  
They show where they would if the drop down was on the left edge of the screen, which is a core menu bug, which is bug 81615.

Would it be possible to skip showing this tooltip for 1.5?

    
    

    
  
I'll reopen, maybe this should be worked around, but I doubt the people driving this release would consider this a blocker.

Having the tooltip apply to the dropdown isn't desirable anyways, since hovering over "eBay" shouldn't show "Search Google". Easiest fix is probably to define tooltips on each menuitem so that the global one isn't inherited.

That's not for me to decide, though, please feel free to renominate.

We're gonna back out the offending patch since we're about to do a respin.

My tooltip when hovering over the google search icon says "Go forward one page" or something like that.

Still seeing this issue in the latest branch builds!

This has regresses slightly in the latest trunk builds...
Hover over each engine in the dropdown, you will see a tooltip ficker on the left side of the browser occasionally.


    
    

    
  
I can reproduce with latest Firefox/Trunk/Linux.
Should I open new bug?

Backing out of bug 311653 didn't for trunk.
I'm reopening.

This works fine for me on today's trunk build (Windows), with the exception of bug 336231. Please file another bug if you can still see this issue, bug 147670 fixed this on the trunk without the need for the bug 311653 backouts.

I understand.
My problem is just bug 336231.
Thanks.
