This means I cannot click on the minimize or close buttons at the very top right of the window because they are off the top of the screen... Also the Status Bar is drawn *twice* at the bottom of the screen. I am running a Matrox Parhelia over three screens... this does NOT happen when I set the screen resolution to just one screen (approx 1024x768)... but as soon as I set the screen res to anything that spreads it over three screens, this draw error occurs. I really hope you can fix this as it seems like an excellent browser. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Get a Matrox Parhelia 256MB graphics card... 2.Set Screen res to anything over 2400x600 (so that the desktop goes over all three monitors... 3.Then run Firefox and hit maximize... Actual Results: the window will then maximize off the top of the screen (by the number of pixels of the titlebars height... approx 50 pixels)... and the Status bar is drawn twice at the bottom (in the space left because the titlebar has gone off the top of the screen). The only way to fix it is to set the browser to full screen mode then press the "minimize" or "close" button that appears in the top right... unacceptable basically. Expected Results: Maximized as normally (so that you can see the titlebar including the minimize/maximize and close buttons). The I consider this to be a fairly Major problem as it *really* gets in the way of my use of the software... I need my windows maximized. I am tempted to go back to lousy Internet Explorer until this is fixed. :o( Otherwise Firefox is an *excellent* browser
I have exactly the same problem running on Win XP Media Center Ver 2002 SP 1 running a Pahelia Graphics 256Mb graphics card on two screens. I am running: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

I experience the exact same problem. Although I use a dual screen layout. 1920x1200 and 1600x1200. It has been consistent with Firefox versions 1.0.1 through 1.0.4 (didn't have this hardware setup with earlier versions). The same thing happens with Mozilla Thunderbird. Matrox Parphelia 128 mb. WinNT 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519 : Service Pack 2). Ir est: XP SP2 with all available updates. I downloaded and installed the latest drivers for my Matrox Parphelia card on June 10th 2005 without it resolving the issue. In case it may aid in troubleshooting, I'll mention that other applications maximize properly. Yet there is a problem with fullscreen video using VLC Media Player 0.8.1 as well as InterVideo WinDVD 6 Platinum where they don't "cover" the taskbar. The task bar remains visible (if it's hidden, the desktop background is shown, so it apparently remembers the settings at logon). PowerDVD 5 and 6 as well as Windows Media Player 10 run fullscreen properly. Hope that helps you track down the common denominator.
