The truth is rather more mundane. Back in 2002 someone noticed that the spellcheck sub-window was always stuck in the upper left corner of the screen. So he fixed it. Or rather he attempted to fix it but didn't check if his fix worked or not. See line 47 of the folllowing link: <http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/editor/ui/dialogs/content/EdSpellCheck.xul&rev=1.63&mark=47#40> I'm in the process of fixing this as part of Bug 942548.
