Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 314279

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[J. Chen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11

I have an external LCD which extends my desktop.  When I have a Firefox window open in this area and initiate either a popup menu or a dropdown from the address bar, it renders in the "primary" display, which is my laptop's screen.

My Menubar and Dock are both on the external LCD.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attach external monitor as extended desktop.
2. Launch Firefox and move window into external desktop space.
3. Right-click or drop-down the address bar.

Actual Results:  
The menus appear in the nearest x and y coordinates on the other screen according to my geometry.

Expected Results:  
The menus should appear directly below or at the place of clicking.

I am running Firefox 1.8.1.11 and the latest version of OS X Leopard.

Reproducibility is not always -- a combination of detaching external display and restarting Firefox "fixed" the issue.

Will be fixed in the upcoming Firefox 3 release.
