Thus, if, as I usually do when annoyed by such window positioning, I move the window to a more pleasing position, it would forever be not a problem. And, yes, I get that some dev decided that shoving the window up there would keep it out of the way of the compose window that is being spell-checked. I disagree. My visual focus needs to be on the spell-check window: That's where the info is that I need to deal with, not in the compose window. If I need to refer to the compose window I am smart enough to be able to move the spell-check window if it is (doubtful in my config) obscuring the compose window.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. See the second half of Bug 942548 Comment #2 for more details. <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=942548#c2> PhilHow did it come to pass that this is a Window on the Win version and a drop-dialog on the Mac version? I'm not seeing a problem with the Spell Check drop on the Mac version.Given that we're talking about Mac v Windows and Drop=down v window, it would be interesting to find out if the Mac Download Manager problem is with a Drop-down or window and if the Windows Spell Checker problem is with a Drop-down or window??
I don't regularly use the Download Manager, but I took a quick look and don't see any particular issue there...are others seeing a problem?
One thing I can add though, is that when I encounter the random Master Password dialog and it comes up in a "window" like the Download Progress dialog vise a drop, is is still drawn short. I'm not sure how this is all implemented, but the error appears to stick with the drop/window it's encountered in no matter how it's presented.
