If the window is moved to the secondary monitor, drop down menus will appear on the wrong monitor; similar to Bug#: 245418. If the browser is started with both monitors active, the pull down menus appear on the correct screen, over the window, whether the window is on the primary, secondary or spans the monitors. If the machine is converted to one monitor and back to two screens the drop down menus to behave in both modes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start browser on a single screen 2.put machine in a two monitor format 3.move window to the secondary monitor. 4. access some drop down menu like the back list or URL completion list.

Workaround: Restarting the browser after two monitors are connected.
FYI: Bug and workaround both present in 1.5.
two screens, with the secondary one to the left and slightly above the primary. this is a 12"pb sitting on a desk with a 17" lcd plugged into the external video port, sitting on the left of the pb.

related to 245418? this bug is still present in 1.5.0.1 osx although i note it's fixed on xp ... even though somewhere in the comments for 245418, it says that the mac code doesn't do caching of screen info at startup, perhaps there is something about adding and removing second monitors while the app is running. i have a 12"pb, and sometimes i'm at a desk with a 2nd monitor att'd, and sometimes i'm sitting on the couch. i leave the machine running all the time, so firefox is running for days and days across multiple (re)connections of the 2nd monitor.

Josh or Mark, any ideas on this one?
Right now, this is Carbon-only (Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x will be based on Cocoa). Since I think context menus don't ever show up (yet) in Cocoafox, we can't yet know if it'll be fixed there. See bug 344323 for implementing that.
This should be fixed with the patch for 344323.
Depends on: 344323

STILL not fixed as of ff 2.0 comments below say something about it being a cocoa/carbon issue, and that ff 2.0, which is supposed to be cocoa (is it?) is supposed to maybe fix it? well, it's not fixed.

This is fixed on the trunk, which is what becomes Firefox 3. Firefox 2 uses carbon whereas Ff 3 will be cocoa. It's not fixed in Carbon.

Works fine now with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070512 Minefield/3.0a5pre Do you have a bug # where the patch is attached which solves this issue? =>FIXED

Without a definitive fix (bug / patch) this should be re-resolved as WORKSFORME.
This was fixed between these two versions: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061121 Minefield/3.0a1 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061122 Minefield/3.0a1 There are a lot of check ins at this time. Bug 323934 was the only one I could find which is related to Cocoa/Mac. Switching from default toolkit cocoa to cairo-cocoa fixed this issue.
I've seen this on Trunk within the last two weeks. Someday we should fix this.
Al filed bug 396614 for his comment 62. If this is present on trunk, it's likely a regression.
This bug is still the case in Firefox 2.0.0.8 Mac OS X 10.4.10 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071008 Firefox/2.0.0.8
(In reply to comment #66) > This bug is still the case in Firefox 2.0.0.8 It won't be fixed for Firefox 2.0.0.x. You have to wait for Firefox 3. See also comment 38 where it was already told.
Edited whiteboard to note that this will not be fixed in Fx2 as per confusion like in comment #66.
Whiteboard: Fixed for Fx3, WONTFIX for Fx2
Marking verified with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008052104 Minefield/3.0pre ID:2008052104
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Hardware: Macintosh → All
Product: Core → Core Graveyard
I am still seeing this in the latest beta binary ( Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.1b2) Gecko/20081201 Firefox/3.1b2 ) I have Xorg configured with 2 monitors. I have one xorg screen configured to span across the two monitors (twinview/xinerama). The second monitor is configured to be to the right of the first monitor. When the Firefox window is on both the left and right monitor AND 50% or more of the window is on the left monitor, the menus (File/Edit/View/etc) do not display in the proper location on the left screen. They are displayed at the left-most position on the second screen. The red line I drew on the screenshot is the last pixel on the left monitor. This also happens with Thunderbird.
Jeremy, can you please file it as a new bug? Please make it blocking this bug. Thanks.
(In reply to comment #82) > Created an attachment (id=360139) [details] > Firefox menus display in wrong position when window is across multiple screens This happens on all platforms. See bug 466169. It's definitely not related to this bug.
