Re: [Sawfish] issue with html5 datalist element rendering RHEL7 x86_64

Yeah, Firefox seems to be doing something funky here in my opinion. I can
neither reproduce this with Chromium nor with Gnome Web.

I first tried to get information about the window by using xwininfo/xprop but
both tools tell me that they are unable to capture the mouse as long as the
dropdown of Firefox is open. Printing all current X windows does not reveal
anything either, it's not showing up in that list as far as I can tell (or
at least it is not a new window, comparing "xwininfo -root -tree" with and
without open dropdown). But looking at that and some other means, it does not
seem to be its own window at all. Not sure if my knowledge of X11 is of help
here then.

Most curiously, after running "metacity --replace" and trying it and then
restarting Sawfish again ("sawfish --replace") the dropdown is now displaced
to the south of the inputbox by roughly the full height of the inputbox.
