(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Aaron Suggs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3

If you plug in a second monitor to an OS X machine, and drag a firefox window from the primary monitor to the secondary monitor, then auto-complete suggestions (for the location bar, search bar, or form fields) display in the top-left corner of the primary monitor (below the OS X menu bar), rather than on the salient firefox window.

(Note if you launch FF with the 2nd monitor already attached, the auto-complete suggestions display properly. They only display on the wrong monitor if you launch FF, then attach a 2nd monitor.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. With only one monitor attached to the computer, open firefox
2. Attach a second monitor
3. Drag your firefox window to the 2nd monitor
4. Start typing something in to a field that yields auto-complete suggestions (like the location bar, search bar, or form fields).
5. Notice that the auto-complete suggestions are displayed on the top left of the primary monitor, rather than in the FF window on the 2nd monitor.
Actual Results:  
The auto-complete suggestions are displayed outside of the actual FF window and on the primary monitor

Expected Results:  
The autocomplete suggestions should be displayed below the relevant form field in the FF window on the 2nd monitor

The auto-complete suggestions display properly if I restart FF while the 2nd monitor is attached.

D'oh! I did so many searches for "multiple monitors" and "multiple screens" and such, but it didn't turn up the other bug. Sorry for submitting a dup.
