Comments
EVALUATION There are two problems: 1. After fis of CR 6580930 popup can overlap taskbar. Therefore TaskbarPositionTest.java should be corrected 2. There is a regression after fix of CR 6694823: if left part of combobox is off the screen then popup coordinates is not corrected and popup is partial visible. We should fix the regression

EVALUATION The test opens various types of popup menus and checks are their rectangles fit in screen dimension. In particular it positions a menu nearly the bottom of the screen and observes that its rectangle is outside the screen. Visually it's not the case. Indeed the java api provides screen size minus talkbar rectangle size. On my Win7 it's less than original screen size for about 40 pixels. On ubuntu it also doesn't take into consideration the taskbar. Although it doesn't prevent the popups to be shown properly on screen (they may overlap taksbars), test fails. It's a long story (e.g. 6677463) with screen borders and I don't see a problem with current java api concerning this particular test.
