Comment 3 for bug 438536

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

-This is a design decision.Not a papercut. One of the reasons , it was done, was due to complaints of the bubbles blocking the firefox search bar. This way the bubbles that are not triggered by the user dont cover that area.
For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.
