this was okay in last nights builds from 5:00pm

Priority: P3 → P2
Target Milestone: M14
Why was this marked critical severity? That is reserved for crash, data loss or
severe leak.
This makes menus unusable if you're exercising the sidebar. adding
regression,beta1 keywords.  reassigning to pavlov as p2 for M14.

This is a z-index bug. If you start with the sidebar closed, and click on the 
view menu to show the sidebar, then the sidebar's frame view is in front of the 
view menu, but other menus are behind. If you start with the sidebar already 
open, then menu views are created after, and so are in front of the sidebar 
frame. This isn't a view manager bug, but a view creation order bug.

Pavlov has a CSS fix for this.

Re-opening, this is still happening but the behavior is slightly different.

To reproduce:

1. Launch mozilla (with sidebar open)
2. Close sidebar with View - Sidebar menu item
3. Open sidebar with View - Sidebar menu item
4. Open File Menu

Results: Note that the blue sidebar shows thru the file menu. You also can't 
select any menu item under Send Link.

This is using 2/16 Linux Commercial build

I don't think this is still PDT+, but will let PDT team decide.

Here's the bug:

If you close *and* then open the sidebar using the view sidebar menu option, 
then the blue sidebar borders will bleed thru the menus when you pull them down, 
and some of the lower menu items will not be accessible.

Of course, if there is an easy fix for this I'm all for it, but I would rather 
see pavlov spend his time improving his foosball skills.

Based on comments from paulmac, removing PDT+ to get a re-evaluation.
