Bug Description

This bug happens with SBA 2.0.0 to 2.0.3; reproducible on Windows 7 (x86) SP1, Firefox 13.0.1.

If you personalize the position of the Searchbar, and put it in the Menu bar, or in the Add-on bar, and you start typing, you will notice that the suggestion box moves away from the searchbar instead of being stuck to it like it should.

I haven't found a 100% sure way of reproducing it when in the Add-on bar, but the followings Steps To Reproduce (tested on a clean profile, with only SBA -- the version you attached above --, and its default settings) worked every times I tried:

1. Right-click on a bar,
2. Choose "Customize...",
3. Make sure the menu bar is enabled,
4. Move the navigation bar in the menu bar, and move the searchbar next to it.

Results: when you type (for me, it happens as soon as I type the second letter), the suggestion box goes below the navigation bar (as seen in the attached screenshot).

I can not reproduce your issue on Firefox 13.0.1 linux 32-bit. I think I can get access to a windows machine but I also think this might be upstream because we don't change the position of the suggestions window. (only the size and not by default)

After a few tests, I realized that this issue can be reproduced by only enabling the Menu Bar, without making any other modifications (I tested on the first start of Firefox, on a clean profile with only SBA installed).

If you disable the Menu Bar after that, it starts working correctly again; enable it and it goes haywire.
So this bug is most certainly related to that Menu Bar.

I think it is an upstream problem.
