Win95B, Build 2000041717: I can't reproduce this bug...when I right-click a page
with my mouse in the bottom right region, the popup menu is drawn properly
within mozilla.

Cannot reproduce on WinNT with 2000-04-17-08-M16; the context menu always stays
entirely on the desktop even if the browser window is maximized and the
Windows taskbar is hidden. If necessary, the context menu appears to the left of
the pointer and higher than it otherwise would have. The problem reported here
has also been reported in the past, but I thought it was fixed.
evola@att.com, can you think of anything different about your setup or
experience? Is the context menu appearing to the right of the pointer?

The menu location does switch between sides as it should, just not at the right
place.
I did some messing around and seem to have found what I do differently. Try the
following:
1. Close all Mozilla windows.
2. Move task bar to left side of window, leave unhidden.
3. Open Mozilla and right click above "ID" in "Build ID:" at bottom of screen.
Although the window is drawn taking the lost real estate on the left into
account, the area that the menu is set to use is not adjusted.

Thanks, evola@att.com -- that's it alright.
Confirmed with the 2000-04-17-08-M16 nightly binary on WinNT. This will likely
affect all Win32, and looks like a case that was missed in the previous fix.
Step 1 before step 2 is crucial to reproducing this bug. If mozilla is started
with the Windows taskbar to the left, the context menu will continue to be drawn
off the right edge of the desktop even if the taskbar is moved back to the
bottom. Contrariwise, if the taskbar is at the bottom when mozilla is started,
this problem never happens, no matter where the taskbar is moved while Mozilla
is running.

I also have the problem of the menu being drawn off the bottom of the screen.
This time it is not due to the task bar, but an application that docks itself on
the top of the screen (the AllAdvantage.com viewbar thingy). Similar to the
taskbar on the left, when Mozilla is started with the application at the top the
context menu will be drawn off screen.
