The menu should open toward the center of the screen, or at least realign itself so that all the menu items are visible Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a website with a form that has a large drop-down box 2. Maximize the Firefox window and move it so that the drop down box is near the bottom of the screen 3. Open the drop down box Actual Results: The menu items were displayed offscreen Expected Results: The menu items should all be shown onscreen. Fonts set at 125% in Windows, probably not related but I saw some other bugs about it.

Paul, Could you create a minimal testcase by saving the problematic page to disk and editing out any unneeded content? Keep rockin' out for communism. -> Layout: Form Controls

Unfortunately, I can't save the actual page because all I get in both MSIE and Firefox is empty frames / nonsense. I made a test page that shows the same issue however from stealing some HTML from the Bugzilla page.
This may be a similar issue to bug 241192. For the record, I tried normal and 125% fonts at 1024x768 and 800x600 with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 and could not reproduce the bug. Is there anything else in your configuration that might cause this?

The only thing that I could think of is that I have multiple monitors arranged in the following configuration: /--------------\ | | /----------\ | | | | | 2 | | 1 | | 1280x1024 | | 1024x768 | | | \----------/ \--------------/ Ah ha! When Firefox is maximized in display 2 is when I noticed it. It appears that the correct behavior occurs when Firefox is on display 1 maximized. -> Renamed bug to be more accurate

Should have known you'd have something like that set up. Nice deduction. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 96034 ***
