Start by having many long URLs in the browser's autocompletion memory.  (I don't
know the technical term for this--I mean for when you type in an URL in the URL
box and there is a dropdown with several possible completions).  I did this
using Bugzilla bug list pages, which have very long URLs.

Type (in the case of the example above) "bugzilla.mozilla.org" and you will get
a dropdown box with the completions.  Note the scrollbar's placement on the
right.  Pick one of the completions.  Stop the page from loading (which
shouldn't matter).

Now put your mouse right after the .org and drag it all the way to the right end
of the URL, which should scroll some distance since the URL is long.  Press
backspace, erasing the entire highlighted area.  The URL is now
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ and completions are shown in the dropdown again. 
However, the right scrollbar is too far to the right and may be partly or
completely off the end of the dropdown box and thus not visible.

This seems to depend on the theme and on the length of the URL box; it only
happens with shorter lengths (such as if there are many buttons).
wfm, linux build 2001070909, modern theme
It happened to me on Classic, not Modern. I should also add that my resolution
is 800x600 and the Mozilla window was smaller than that. My sidebar is hidden
and my navigation toolbar includes: Back, Forward, Reload, Stop, URL input,
Print, Mozilla symbol.

I've attached a screen capture of my screen with this problem (xwd -root,
converted to jpeg) in case anyone needs to see the exact details to try to
reproduce it.
Confirmed on my linux build 2001071008 when using classic build and starting
with a small mozilla window.
Marking NEW annd moving to proper place.
