Restarting the browser fixes the problem.

Doesn't seem to happen on OSX, fwiw, latest nightly.

Mardak: any ideas?

STR:

1. Switch to suggest: "Nothing"
2. Click location bar drop-down
3. Switch to suggest: "History and Bookmarks"
4. Type in location bar

Seems like the drop-down mode gets confused when it shows no results and stays in "drop-down mode" and shows 12 results with no scrollbar.

Can we get an owner for this bug?

Do we really care enough to fix this on branch?

Maybe not, but since beltzner nominated it, I figured I'd do my part to get an owner. How about a fix for trunk?
