In the fonts part of preferences, when I click on fonts to open the dropdown
menu, the dropdown appears behind the pref window, hiding some of the fonts.
This is always reproduced, but it only leads to crash sometimes, not always.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Edit> Preferences > Fonts
2. Click on the downward-pointing triangles to open dropdown menu
3. The dropdown will appear behind the window. Try to choose different fonts,
especially the ones hidden behind the pref window

BTW, I'm on Mac OSX, not OS9.x (couldn't find OSX in the OS selection). It just
says Mozilla has unexpectedly quitted without module or anything.
Dupe of bug 74899?
could you use a build with talkback so that a stack trace could be made? if so,
comment here with the talkback incident number and we can put the trace info in
here. thx!
Tried the talkback, but it only operates in classic environment -- it's not
fizzila. The problem does not get duplicated in TB...

cc'ing attinasi, pink and hixie to see if they've heard of any recent crashers
dealing with the Fonts pref panel. i'm currently running a build [albeit on
linux, but it might be the same problem], so it might be a while before i can
get trace info...

possible this could be a dup of bug 75662. there's also bug 80382, which could
be a dup...
over to pinkerton for a look.

This looks to be specific to the Carbon builds (i.e. a classic build doesn't show 
the problem).  Targeting for 0.9.2
