Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 369618

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Nicholas Furgiuele]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a3pre) Gecko/20070208 Minefield/3.0a3pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a3pre) Gecko/20070208 Minefield/3.0a3pre

When a menu is opened on a secondary monitor, (eg. File menu clicked, or user right clicks) the corresponding menu is rendered in the wrong position. 

This applies to:
* when you click a menu on the menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc)
* right click context menus
* auto complete menus

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Minefield
2. Place the Minefield window on a secondary monitor
3. Either click a drop down menu or right click for a context menu
Actual Results:  
It appears that the menus are attracted towards the position of the primary monitor.

If the secondary monitor is on the left of the primary monitor then the menus along the top right side of the secondary monitor, if the secondary monitor is below the primary then they appear in the middle of the screen and if the secondary monitor is placed anywhere else it seems that the menus appear off both screens as they are not visible.

Expected Results:  
The menus should appear in the expected location, eg. Under the file menu, or besides the cursor in the case of a right click menu.
