[CEF 2171] Droplists appear in wrong location

[JeffryBooher]

the container list list containing Options for <select> elements is positioned incorrectly after the <select> element moves

1. Start Brackets
2. View > Themes
3. Click on the Current Theme droplist
4. Dismiss the droplist and the dialog
5. Resize and Move Brackets so that it's a minimal size in the lower right-hand corner of the display
6. Repeat steps 2 & 3
   ==> Drop list appears in the wrong place

If you move Brackets to another Monitor it is on the wrong monitor even.
It appears that the first invocation is where it lives forevermore.

What about using bootstrap's dropdown menus (div.dropdown-menu) instead of selects?
This should be a simple way to fix this bug.

[JeffryBooher]

@nicolo-ribaudo While using a different affordance is much more pleasing in a few ways it is a much larger undertaking and doesn't address the underlying problem. This not only is a problem for Brackets core but extensions who use <select> in dialogs, etc... The fix is relatively simple but beyond the scope of 1.1 -- we just need to notify CEF that the app is moving so it can reposition the select list.

Fixes bug #5291. Since this is a longstanding issue, removing milestone (though it's likely to land in 1.2 anyway since it's already making progress).

Confirmed. Closing.
