Bug 12358 – REGRESSION: Drop-down menu is displayed in wrong position

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: Layout and Rendering

[Daniele Metilli]

Follow these steps:

1 - Go to http://www.elet.polimi.it/index.jsp
2 - Click on the drop-down menu at the bottom left (it says "accesso rapido").
3 - The menu gets displayed at the top of the window.

I'm using the latest nightly (r19016).

How big is your browser window?  Do you you have to scroll down to see the drop-down menu?

[Daniele Metilli]

No, but it seems the menu is displayed incorrectly only if all of Safari's bars (address bar, bookmarks bar and tab bar) are visible. I will provide a screenshot.

I am able to reproduce this with a locally-built debug build of WebKit r19021 with Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8N1037).

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Safari/WebKit.
2. Open URL: http://www.elet.polimi.it/index.jsp
3. Scroll window down until drop-down menu is clickable.
4. MOVE Safari window until only half of the horizontal scroll bar is visible off the bottom of the screen.
5. Click on the drop-down menu.

Expected Results:

The drop-down menu should appear above the place where it's rendered.

Actual Results:

The drop-down menu is drawn near the top of the browser window!

Notes:

This is a regression from shipping Safari 2.0.4 (419.3).

This bug sounds familiar; it may be a duplicate of another bug.
