644251 - URL preview displayed on the right side when find bar is open

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 631250

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

The new UI element that displays a preview of the URL of a hovered link (I call it the 'URL preview' for I don't know the official name) normally sits on the left side of the FF windows. When the 'find bar' is open (Ctrl + F) it is displayed on the right side instead. It stays there even after closing the find bar until I open a new tab. This behavior is surprising and doesn't make sense.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open FF4
2. hover over a hyperlink and notice the URL preview at the bottom left of the window
3. open the find bar by pressing Ctrl + F
4. Repeat step 2 but find the URL preview on the right side instead of the left
Actual Results:  
URL preview appears on the right side of the window above the find bar

Expected Results:  
URL preview *always* appears on the left side of the window whether the find bar is open or not

I also reproduced this behavior under Windows XP 32-bit.
