[Bug 279724] [NEW] Firefox tooltips and context menus offset until after screen rotation/derotation

[Bálint Magyar]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

This is on Intrepid beta upgraded from 8.04.1 running Metacity on an
Intel GMA-950.

0) Set screen rotation to Normal via xrandr.
1) Open Firefox.
2) Rotate the screen Left or Right.
3) Rotate the screen back to Normal.

Right click on a page -> context menu appears offset by several hundred pixels away from mouse cursor.
Hovering any object in the window that pops up a tooltip (including buttons on window decoration) shows that tooltips are offset as well.

All other windows opened before the rotation display context
menus/tooltips at the correct positions. Restarting Firefox fixes the
problem.

Cannot not try with Compiz because of bug #277709.
