The menus for both the status bar icon and status bar label are appearing partially offscreen, as if my monitor were wider than it actually is. I'm using NoScript 2.0.1 on Firefox 3.6.8 on Mandriva Linux 2010.0. Possibly relevant: I'm using XRandR to rotate my normally 1680x1050 screen to 1050x1680 instead. However, the Firefox dropdown list of tabs (which is also near the right edge of the screen) appears fully onscreen, as expected.

Does using right click to get the alternate NoScript menu cause a different effect?

I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about -- I get the same menu whether I left or right click on the status bar icon. However, it now appears to me that this behavior is not NoScript's fault, because the normal right-click context menu inside the page content also has the same problem, and this also happens with all add-ons disabled. The tab drop-down doesn't have this problem only because it ALWAYS drops down fully inside the Firefox window, even if the window isn't on the right edge of the screen.

From my point of view NoScript working the same way as the tab dropdown, rather than the same way as the context menu, would be a large usability improvement, since the NoScript status bar icon is pinned near the right side of the window. But still, not really NoScript's fault.

Confirmed: xdpyinfo was reporting my resolution as 1680x1680. (I guess it chose a resolution large enough to contain the screen whichever way it was rotated?) Running xrandr --fb 1050x1680 made the menus start do to the right thing again. Didn't even have to restart Firefox.
