Hey, actual examples! So, for the fun of it, let's check...
* Short drop downs. IIRC, this is a Mac-specific issue. Most SM
developers don't have a Mac, and at least some, like me, don't
want one
(which is their personal taste, not to argue with). IIRC, there are
only
two SM developers who have a Mac at all, and both are known for
having
very little time. They do what they can, but analyzing the root
causes
of such bugs probably doesn't fit their time schedule. All you can
do is
a) analyze the bug as good as you can (e.g. by collecting all
occurrences, making screen shots and attaching them to the bug)
and b)
try to narrow down when the issue first appeared, ideally down to
the
nightly builds level, so that identifying the causing change in code
becomes possible.
Jens, could you please check out my Comment 11 on
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812050, as I'm seeing a
clipped screen on my Win7 SM 2.22b2 Spell Checker screen.
Same here on Win 7 SM 2.22.1. Easily fixed by very slightly moving the
screen down from the top (as previously suggested).

Or, oddly enough, UP.
Just what are you moving? In the Mac version I can't drag/drop or
move any part of the drop down.
The short spelling check box on Windows is not a drop down. It's a modal
dialog box. I don't know how it is implemented on a Mac, but on Windows
it pops up on the top left of the screen with the top of the box
slightly off the display area and the bottom of the box shortened. If
you click on the title bar and drag it slightly (the way you move any
window on Windows) it corrects itself.

Ok...on the Mac version the Spelling Check dialog is a drop down. And
for some reason I thought I'd checked it and verified that I was seeing
it drawn short too, but I checked just now and it's drawn correctly.
Checked my Outbox for previous post - it's the Confirm and Send drop
that's also being drawn short...I think this one is being seen on both
Mac and Win versions.
I haven't seen any short-drawn modal boxes in the Mac version, as of yet.
