Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

Overview: To see a mail folder's context menu I, very often, have to select the 
Control key and select the folder twice.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select a mail folder, notice a tooltip appears
2. With the Control key pressed, select the mail folder

Actual Results: The context menu appears to flash. With the Control key still 
selected, select the mail folder a second time and then the context menu 
appears.

If the tooltip does Not appear then holding the Control key and selecting the 
mail folder once displays the context menu as expected.

Expected Results: Selecting the Control key and selecting the mail folder should 
display the context menu on the first try. It shouldn't matter if a tooltip is 
displaying at the time.

Additional Information:
- Win and Linux work as expected. Right clicking on a mail folder displays the 
context menu, even if a tooltip was present.

I tried to find another bug related to this issue but couldn't.
I'm marking nsbeta3 because it's confusing to see it not work and then work.

in a builds from today or yesterday i've seen "stuck" tooltips block
left-clicking on a folder in mail on linux. There's already a bug on persistant
tooltips so i didn't file it as a separate bug. Annoying though.

this used to be worse on Windows than what I'm seeing right now. Before the
tooltip wouldn't go away when using context menus. Not they seem to go away as
soon as you move the mouse which seems fine to me for this release.  I haven't
tried the other platforms yet.

clearing nsbeta3+ for re-triage, and hopefully a downgrade to -/future.

Someone should be marking this WFM...

marking pdtp3 and adding nsbeta3- since Peter agrees.
