This has happened in every build for the last few weeks including the latest
(20010115).

Reproduce bug:
1. in messenger, click: Search - Search mail/news messages
2. window appears beyond visible screen

Only the far right edge appears off-screen in my experience on windows
platforms... I also think we have/had a bug on this. Will look.

Comment 4

[Peter Lairo]

confirm: right edge appears off-screen. Still annoying though.

Is the windows positioning so hard to alter that this cannot be done by
Mozilla0.9? It seems to me that ALL windows should either (allways) be centered
or the window should (allways) remember the size/position set by the user.

Most windows dialogues seem to easily display in the middle of the screen,
regardless of resolution. Doesn't mozilla  have this feature? (display dialogue:
center of screen)? Oh well, I'll just shut up and wait ;)
