Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 629907

(Firefox :: General, defect)

The small overlay for connecting / waiting / loading status messages comes on top of vertical scroll bar (if one is present). I guess it must be coming with the content window, not on the scroll bars.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Resize the browser to half or less of the screen, so you can see a vertical scrollbar when you open some site.
2. Open http://www.yahoo.com
3. Now see the small overlay coming on top of the vertical scroll bar.
Actual Results:  
The small overlay is coming on top of the vertical scroll bar.

Expected Results:  
The small overlay must be within the content window.

Maybe this is expected because on mouse over event the position of the small overlay changes.

There is one more problem with this:

Sorry... could not complete the previous comment:
(Tested with 8.0a1 (2011-07-15))

1. There is a site with a horizontal scroll bar. The loading overlay comes on it and goes away when the page loads. This is fine.
2. There is a dropdown box inside the page, and on selecting an item, it loads a different page. Now here comes the problem. When a different page is loaded on selecting a dropdown item, the new loading overlay comes on the horizontal scroll bar and stays there "forever" until I hover my mouse on any other link.

My bad... I mean "horizontal".
