266076 - Bookmark menu context menu accesskeys don't work

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P3)

Description

[Gary Kwong [:gkw] [:nth10sd] (NOT official MoCo now)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041015 Firefox/0.10.1 (MOOX M2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041015 Firefox/0.10.1 (MOOX M2)

Right click on bookmarks and then pressing "r" on keyboard should bring up
properties of that bookmark. Instead, the first bookmark in that folder with "r"
as the title letter is instigated in the current active tab.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go bookmarks menu.
2. Right click on any bookmark in any sub-menu.
3. Click "r" key on keyboard.
Actual Results:  
Context menu remains on screen while the first bookmark in that folder with "r"
as the title letter is instigated in the current active tab

Expected Results:  
Properties menu should appear with the context menu disappearing. Nothing should
happen in the current tab.

Default theme. Using Moox M2 Build 20041015 though. Not sure if it happens on
official builds though. No extensions.

Default builds have this bug too.

Additional behaviour observed:
1. Not only properties, but "d" for delete also doesn't work.
2. If there is no bookmark starting with "r", nothing happens, context menu
stays on screen.

Confirmed with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3)
Gecko/20041025 Firefox/1.0

None of the accesskeys work, and keypresses are unpredictably passed down to the
bookmarks: sometimes "O" will do nothing, sometimes it will _O_pen in tabs.

See also bug 256073 - unable to trigger the context menu from the keyboard,
which is trying to morph into this bug.

vlad, you need a tracker somewhere for all of the "stupid things that our menu
code does" for your post-1.0 pleasure.

Workaround, use the arrow keys.  As a note, since the context menu can't
actually be invoked without the mouse, afaict, this isn't a big deal at present.
 If you can invoke it with the mouse, you don't need it to be keyboard-friendly.
 The alternate path that does work is to use manage bookmarks.

Not a 1.0 blocker, way too edge-case/risky, this has probably never worked anyway.

Clicking "f" for refreshing live bookmark works though.

Strange, should be investigated. Perhaps related to bug 257082.

Still happens using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.9a1)
Gecko/20050813 Firefox/1.0+.  (Tested using the 'd' key in a context menu for a
bookmark in a folder on my toolbar.)

Can this make it in the trunk? Or there's nobody able to work on this until the new bookmarks API is ready in future releases?

Hoping for 1.9a1+ or 2.0+.
