207266 - link actions ignored from right mouse click context menu after cursor has moved on addons entries

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

In right click context menu, when cursor moves on addons entries, link actions
(Open Link", etc...) become ineffective, whereas page actions like "Save Page"
are Ok.

This is very annoying when a link is close to the bottom of the screen, then
context menu appears at top of the cursor, so I must pass addons: no way to open
or save link, I must scroll down page (if possible) in order to the context menu
appears lower that the cursor then actions are available "before" addons.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a browser enhancement (Leech and Linky for me)
2. open link context menu with right mouse click
3. move cursor (color line is reversed) to addon(s)
4. go back to "Open Link" or "Save Link Target"
5. try to launch with left mouse click

Actual Results:  
nothing

Isn´t this a bug of the addon?

This bug occurs for browser context-menu actions, with at least 2 different
addons, and without opening submenus of each addon (just by moving cursor over
addons names), so for me it seems to be a Mozilla addon support bug.

After upgrade to Mozilla 1.4 (with same theme and addons), link actions in
context menu now seems to be ok !
