Details

The bottom of long Mozilla menus are butted against the top of the Explorer taskbar. Instead they should float above the explorer taskbar and use the bottom of the screen as the menu absolute bottom limit. This is already done correctly by rods@netscape.com for his combo-box widgets.
The following code is used by the combobox widget to work out screen dimensions. Maybe the same approach would work for XP menus. nsIDeviceContext* context; aPresContext->GetDeviceContext( &context ); if ( nsnull != context ) { context->GetDeviceSurfaceDimensions(width, height); }
