See the before and after PNG screen shots. before_scroll.png shows the display before I scroll with the mouse wheel. after_scroll.png shows the display after I scroll with the mouse wheel. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a text field in a form. 2. Type the first few letters of an autocomplete entry. 3. Wait for the autocomplete drop down box to appear. 4. Scroll the page with the mouse wheel. Actual Results: The drop down box retains its original absolute position on the screen, which is wrong because the page has scrolled up. This means that the drop down box appears to float in a strange position. Expected Results: The drop down box for the field autocomplete should move up or down with the page.
is this the same as bug 267960?
It may not be exactly the same bug. The poster of bug 267960 does not specify whether he scrolls down with his keyboard or with his mouse. I have no problems when scrolling with the keyboard. However, when I invoke an autocomplete field and then scroll down with my mouse wheel, that is when the problem occurs.
