340947 - Bookmark toolbar menus stay on main monitor when FF is moved to external monitor on macbook pro

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 314279

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[John Harlow]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

When I add an external monitor to my macbook pro it will dynamically increase the size of my desktop. When this happens, I drag FF to the new, larger area of the desktop on th external monitor, but the drop-down menus from bookmark folders on my bookmarks toolbar never move from the original (in my case built-in) monitor. Totally quitting out of FF and restarting clears the problem. The problem does not occur when shrinking the size of the desktop by removing the external monitor.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start FF with only notebook screen in use
2.Attach an external monitor, configured to expand desktop
3.move FF to external portion of desktop
4. drop down a bookmark folder menu from toolbar
Actual Results:  
Same

Expected Results:  
I expected the menus to be in the proper place (ie: dropping down from the bookmark bar.)

This has occurred in every version of FF I have tested on the mac. I don't have mozilla installed .  The problem does not happen in safari.

This is an intel mac.

I'd be happy to do any testing you need. I can also send you a screen capture of the desktop with the problem manifesting itself if that will help.

I am not running any theme, but I do have a few extensions loaded (fasterfox, google toolbar, flashgot, image zoom and talkback.)

I just downloaded and installed Mozilla. Same problem occurs there, so it must be a mozilla bug.
