534008 - command events don't bubble from menuitems in menu bar menus

Status: NEW

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

Description

I have a XUL menu element in a menupopup in the menu bar.  There's an event listener on the menu listening for bubbling command events, but it's not fired by events originating at ancestor menuitem elements.  Bubbling and capturing event listeners on the menuitems themselves do fire.  The same scenario works as expected in the context menu (and on Windows), so I'm guessing the problem is related to native menus.

Related is bug 526387.
