Details

Opening a xul:panel anchored to a specific element is not reliable. STR: 1. get a Firefox 19 build. 2. open the web console and try to type something. In some cases you will notice that the autocompletion popup opens in the wrong location. This happens only the first time you type something. Reopen the Web Console to test again. Problem lies in AutocompletePopup.jsm (hg locate), used by the Web Console. The autocomplete popup uses a xul:panel inside of which a xul:richlistbox is inserted. Further investigation is needed as to why it happens. Do note that a workaround for the issue is being included in bug 831693. Related: bug 837433 and bug 785433.
Note that the same issue occurs in Firebug. Steps to reproduce in Firebug are available in the following issue: http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=6197 (and comment 6 for other STR) Florent
