21310 - Rapidly clicking the "file" menu option cause it to fail to respond

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 17042

(Core :: XUL, defect, P2)

Description

[andreww]

Steps to reproduce:
1) launch Mozilla (Commercial)
2) rapidly click on the file option in the "file edit view" menu.

Expected Results:
The file menu options hide and show as toggled.

Actual Results:

eventually (after about 10 or so clicks) the file menu will stop responding and
stay "closed".

Other observations:
If the window loses focus and then regains it - the the menus seem to respond ok
again - until you rapidly click them again.

The time interval it takes to get this behavior varies from 2 - 20 rapid clicks.
There doesnt seem to be an exact number or speed to achieve this.

Havent tested this in Linux, but since mac menus are different, they do not
display this behavior.

I also noticed that if you get the menu to fail to respond, no other click
events will fire as well, so you cannot browse links click buttons, etc.

Reproduced on Win98.  You can recover by clicking on another window, then
clicking back. Most people will treat the app as having crashed though.
