Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 239218

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Adam Lathers]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

When all browser windows are closed, and only a download manager window is open,
Pull down menus do not respond, and keyboard shortcuts (command N) do not work
for new windows.  If I click a link from an external application, a new window
is spawned.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla
2.Commence downloading of some file via the download manager
3.close all browser windows

Actual Results:  
Pull down menus (except the "application/Firefox" menu) were inactive.  They
would highlight, but not drop down.  Keyboard shortcuts for new windows did not
work.

Expected Results:  
Menus and keyboard shortcuts should remain active.

clicking a link from "mail" or other outside applications is successful in
spawning a new window.
