Public bug reported:
I've noticed this since sometime last year but as I'm thoroughly sick of
it, I've finally taken to reporting it.
The Firefox password autocomplete pop-up, the one that shows when you
double click a form field to select from a REMEMBERED password, is
sometimes DISPLACED. Sometimes it's in near vicinity of the form field,
like in the example I've attached screenshot to, but it's pretty much
random and may appear anywhere on the screen which is a problem when you
have a busy page like a forum...
Anyway, clicking the displaced pop-up has no effect, you have to use
ARROW KEYS to select an entry and hit enter. Refreshing the page doesn't
help. But moving the tab to another window (extracting it out) and
refreshing, fixes the issue.
I have a custom AppArmor profile on Firefox active, but it's irrelevant,
the problem appears with or without AA active or inactive.
