93943 - location bar autocomplete gets randomly placed on screen

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 86256

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[ajax]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010806
BuildID:    20010806 (0.9.3)

simple.  see attached screenshot.  attempting to type a url into the location
bar will (sometimes) place the autocompletion area wrong.
preferences that might be relevant: internet keywords disabled, autocomplete
disabled.  personally i think there should be an option to turn off the "search
google for" box altogether.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start typing a url into the location bar.
2. if the autocomplete box shows up in the right place, move the window or go to
another web page, and try again.  doesn't always happen on the first attempt.

Actual Results:  see screenshot.

Expected Results:  draw the autocomplete box immediately below the location bar.
