Bug Description

The Launchpad help pop-up appears at the same place on the page, regardless of whether that's visible on the screen at the time. It's particularly noticeable if you have a long page with a help link at the bottom, as it seems that the pop-up hasn't appears, whereas it has appeared off-screen.

We're not yet using the help pop-ups so I can't provide a URL. I can provide you with a branch, though.

It seems the javascript uses an absolute position.

MPT's report from one of this bug's dupes:

1. Go to <https://edge.launchpad.net/~cprov/+archive/ppa>.
2. Scroll down so that "This repository is signed with the OpenPGP key 1024R/0DC0F66C Help on installing software from this PPA" is near the top of the viewport.
3. Click the help link.

What happens: The help pane appears partly off-screen.
What should happen: The help pane appears exactly in the middle of the viewport, and stays there regardless of the position of the rest of the page.
