348953 - autocomplete popup covers form field

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 216434

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect)

Description

[Rahul Abrol]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6

when a form field is at the bottom of a page, the autocompletion entries mask the original field.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. google something
2. hit tab twice (moves cursor to bottom search field)
3. type something that generates multiple autocomplete entries.

reproducible in 1.5.0.6, 2.0b1 and 3.0a1

safari/opera ensure that the page always jumps a little past the next form field (after a tab) thus providing ample space for the autocomplete popup.  if there's simply no more room then the popup is only partially visible.
