Public bug reported:
After upgrading to Quantum, the right mouse button context menu for HTML
links pops up in the wrong place when the Firefox window is pushed to
either side of my screen (so that the window takes up half of the
horizontal space). The issue appears similar to what has been reported
in bug #1721614, but for me the issue does not occur with the hamburger
menu or other UI elements, only with links on webpages, and the menu
highlighting behavior is different: in my issue the highlighting occurs
normally only once I point the cursor at the menu.
== Steps to reproduce ==
1. Create a new profile and start Firefox using the profile.
2. Expand the window to fill the screen (if not already).
3. Enter search terms into the URL bar and hit enter to bring up a search
results page.
4. Right-click a search result title to bring up the context menu. Left-click
outside it to close it.
5. Grab the window title bar and push the window to the right edge of screen to
resize the window to span half of screen horizontally. Release the title bar.
4. Right click the search result title again.
== What happens ==
The menu pops up on way off from where the mouse cursor is. See attached
screenshot.
== What should happen ==
The context menu should pop up next to mouse cursor.
== Possible culprit ==
This seems to be somehow tied to localization: if I uninstall firefox-locale-*,
then create a new Firefox profile, with this new profile the menu pops up where
it should. I'm using Finnish locale, but this is reproducible with just
firefox-local-en too, although the mispositioning differs between locales
(Finnish pushes the menu off to the left, whereas English pushes it down and to
the right).
== Workaround ==
Don't right-click on the page before resizing the window (that is, skip step #4
above). This seems to be the trigger.
== Other info ==
I'm able reproduce this in a (16.04) VM just as well as on the host desktop.
