User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

When using multiple monitors/displays, the menus (toplevel and context) appear
on the primary display even though FireFox is on the secondary display. The
menus appear flush to the right side of display 1 (primary) when display 2 is
placed to the right of display 1.
I believe this may not happen if the system is booted in multi-monitor
configuration; I can duplicate it by booting with a single monitor, then
enabling the second monitor after boot. It may only require disabling the
secondary monitor and re-enabling it.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot PC in single-monitor configuration
2. enable second monitor
3. start FireFox and drag onto secondary display
4. open a menu
Actual Results:
Menus appear on primary display
Expected Results:
Menus should appear on the same display as FireFox

This bug does not seem to be a duplicate of 135079. Tested in Mozilla 1.8a
(Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040513).
This is not related to rollover or flickering or such. The entire menu appears
on the wrong display!
Steps:
1) Start computer in single-display mode.
2) enable secondary display (mine is to the left of my primary)
3) start Mozilla and move it to the secondary display.
4) select any menu (top-level or context) -- it appears on the primary display.
5) move Mozilla back to primary display and close Mozilla
6) open Mozilla and move to secondary display
7) Menus open on secondary (correct) display.

Please consider this bug because it is VERY annoying while working. All menus
created by Firefox 0.8 (it doesn't occur right clicking on title bar) appear in
the primary display, even if firefox is in the secondary. This IS NOT bug 135079!

Verifying old and obvious dupes. Sorry for bugspam.

This happens if Firefox is currently running when you switch to multi-monitor
mode. If you then drag Firefox to another screen, the menus will still pop up on
the original screen. If you launch Firefox _after_ you've switched to
multi-screen mode, the menus display OK.

Sorry, first time I use the bugzilla system and didn't see that the "reproducing
of the bug description" was already included.
