[Bug 990656] [NEW] "Global Menu Bar Integration"

[John McCown]

Public bug reported:

This is what someone told me.
I know the source of the problem. When an extension creates a Firefox popup menu, it has different position attribute values that determine the sub-menu placement.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL...popup.position

Essentially, the sub-menu is being created underneath the parent
menuitem. Since the parent menuitem is at the bottom of the parent menu
and next to the bottom of the screen, there is no room for the new sub-
menu to expand. It should be creating the menu from bottom to top
instead.

You shoud report this issue as a "Global Menu Bar Integration" extension
bug. They need to change the extension code, so the sub-menu grows
upwards when created next to the bottom.

Meanwhile, scroll the parent menuitem to the middle of the screen,
before acessing the sub-menu.

This is my bug I have to take out the Unity appmenn to get my bookmarks
folders to expand from the menu bar bookmarks. When I have a folder that
is on the bottom of the page it will only show about 6 bookmark without
have to use the up and down arrows. Anyone else having to do this?
