I am seeing the same problem with Firefox 3.0.7 on Linux.

Reproducable: Always (at least on a single monitor setup)

Steps to Reproduce:
* Move firefox past the right edge of the screen so that at least 1 pixel of search widget is off screen.
* Start typing.  The dropdown list will apear floating to the left of the Firefox window, as shown in the original poster's screenshot.  In my case, the dropdown appears against the left side of the screen, not in the middle, but that may be a resolution issue.

We'be not had reports of this recently, and this bug hasn't really been touched for the last 10 years, so closing this as works for me.
