[Bug 372581] [NEW] context menu drawn off screen after changing resolution

[positivek]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The menus, context menus, and popup tooltips in Firefox are drawn over
the edge of the screen after a change (reduction) in screen resolution.

1. Use the (high) native resolution of an external monitor hooked up to my laptop.
2. Start Firefox.
3. Use the "Display Preferences" (System --> Preferences --> Display) to simultaneously turn off the external monitor and switch to the laptop's internal monitor, at its (lower) native resolution.
4. The menus, context menus, Add-on context menus in the status bar, and status bar tooltip popups are drawn so they go off the screen when they are too close to the edge.

Expected behavior: FF should attempt to draw these items within the
current screen if possible (i.e. use the "normal" drawing rules for
popup items).
