    <thetext>The page in the URL uses document.getBoxObjectFor (or falls back on the IE extension getBoundingClientRect which isn&apos;t implemented in WebKit either) for submenu positioning. I couldn&apos;t find any official information on getBoxObjectFor.</thetext>

&gt; Given that this already leaked, I&apos;m not 100% sure that it&apos;s a good idea to
&gt; remove it :-(

Reopened. My own opinion is that WebKit should not implement getBoxObjectFor.</thetext>

    <thetext>We should implement getBoundingClientRect() (on HTMLElement), IMHO.
IMHO getBoxObjectFor() should not be implemented.</thetext>

    <thetext>getBoundingClientRect would be reasonable I suppose.
