229143 - Mis-focus on different item when using right-click/save as to save content

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: XUL, defect)

clipart.com requires registration before allowing one to save the full-sized
images. to prevent downloading the sample images, they have some javascript to
disable right-click. However, in Mozilla, this does not work. If you right-click
on any image, you get their javascript alert() popup as expected, but upon
trying to dismiss it by clicking on Ok, you get the context menu which allows
you to save the image as if there was no javascript preventing you.

However, rather than saving whichever image you'd originally clicked on, the
browser will actually try to save whatever is under the mouse when you dismiss
the alert() popup. If the popup is not directly over the image you clicked on to
save, you get something else (html, image, flash, etc...).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load up any page of clipart from clipart.com
2. Pick an image at random and right-click on it
3. Upon right clicking, you get a javascript alert() popup asking you to register
4. Use the mouse to dismiss the popup, at which point you get the normal context
menu
5. Select save as in the context menu that shows up

- or - 

4. move the mouse elsewhere on the page, other than the image you clicked or the
popup
5. hit space to dismiss the popup()
6. then use the mouse to select "save as" in the context menu.


Actual Results:  
You receive a normal "Save As" dialog window, prompting you to save the content
(an image, or the page's html) that's under the mouse at the moment you
dismissed the alert() popup.

Expected Results:  
It should prompt to save the image you'd originally clicked on.

clipart.com's javascript is broken, as we're still receiving the context-menu,
but this mis-saving is rather odd...

I see the context menu after the alert().  But it it always displays the image
that I first clicked on.

Confirmed for Mozilla 1.6/WinXP. It seems that document.popupNode is calculated
based on current mouse coordinates instead of taking the coordinates from the event.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
