window placed out of screen boundaries

[Ivo Roghair]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

On the Intrepid liveCD/beta from Oct 3 2008, opening firefox on a 1280x800 screen does not show the titlebar of the window as it is placed out of the boundaries of the screen (placed too high). You could move/resize the window with alt+left/middle button, but new users likely do not know these combinations and therefore are not able to drag the window.

This problem is on all resolutions. Luckily I know how to alt+drag. Let's fix this for hug day! Damn I wish I could code.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
