User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:18.0) Gecko/18.0 Firefox/18.0 Build ID: 20121012114555 Steps to reproduce: My Aurora 17 has been updated to version 18 (2012-10-08 win32 en-US, 2012-10-12 win32 en-US, then 2012-10-12 win323 hu). Actual results: The Firefox button menu covers opening Web developers submenu. The same happens in bookmarks menu, it covers bookmarks submenus. Expected results: Web developers submenu should be drawn over the Firefox button menu.
Component: Untriaged → Menus
Can you reproduce this with your add-ons disabled?
I disabled all my add-ons manually. It didn't help. I created new profile but nothing changed. If I restart the browser in safe mode, it's OK, the bug disappears.
And as a note, problem happens only when hardware acceleration in enabled.

Are the people affected all running Windows XP? If so, did anyone with this bug on XP experience bug 610713 at all?
Interestingly, as far as I test, I can't reproduce bug 610713 at all with m-i changeset http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/65b95ed309b9 (Last changeset before the patches of bug 610713 was landed)
Attached patch Possible patch (deleted) — Splinter Review
I don't have access to an XP computer that supports hardware acceleration so I can't test this properly. Assuming bug 610713 didn't affect XP users adding an OS check could fix this bug without regressing that one.

Comment on attachment 671266 [details] [diff] [review] Possible patch Review of attachment 671266 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- I think we should take this on trunk ASAP because we need to see if it fixes the problem. The patch itself is quite safe, it's just a partial backout of bug 610713 for Windows XP.
