Hi Folks,
I currently set my Windows Aero border padding to 0 (Right click desktop > Personalization > Window Color > Advanced Appearance Settings > Border Padding > 0) As I'm not a fan of having big borders around my Aero Windows.

However, when I do this and turn off the menu bar in builds of Firefox 4 I get the issue below :-

(The space above the "Minefield" button)
It happens when I maximise a window and also prevents me from using the "Pull" away feature of windows 7 to move a maximised window if I click in any space above the button.
Whist I realise I've modified the default Windows 7 UI and the issue isn't the end of the world, given that for the moment I can just use the old menu bar, It would be nice if I could fix it somehow without turning borders back on...


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click desktop > Personalization > Window Color > Advanced Appearance Settings > Border Padding > 0
2. Load Firefox/Minefield and turn off the old menu bar
3. Maximise the Window
4. Line will appear above the new "Firefox/Minefield" button that is unresponsive to the "pull" away feature of maximised windows included with Windows 7


Expected Results:  
Draw the UI regardless of border padding settings.

Default theme, no addons active.
D2D set on.

I didn't even realize this was possible. CC'ing Jim. Not immediately clear to me how we can query this theme value and fix it.

Bug 576960 is similar. The new css style props should be populated with these defaults so positioning is correct.
