Details

This is an odd little one. I first noticed it in Mail/News but it works equally oddly in the browser. I've first noticed it in 0.9.5 but have not got an older version currently installed to try it on. Anyhow, this is the issue. It's particularly easy to demonstrate in mail/news if you use the 'copy to' menu for the very first time. The slight delay while the sub menu is built allows you to perform step 3. 1) Click and hold on a window until the context menu pops up. 2) Keep hold of the mouse and move it down to hilight one of the lower menu items.3) Now slide the mouse of to the side of the menu. Sometimes the selected menu item will remain 'lit'. It seems to be associated with moving the mouse quickly to the side. 4) Now click in the window you started with. The contect menu will disapear (as it should). 5) Now click and hold to bring the context menu back up. What you see: The context menu that appears the second time has a hilight on the item you slid off in step 4. It also has the hilight on the place the mouse is over. What you should see: A standard context menu with no extra hilight. This issue seems to be related to the javascript issue you can get with web pages that use the mouseOver and mouseOut events to change 'buttons'. If you move the mouse away from the image rapidly enough you don't get a MouseOut event and thus the image stays 'lit'. The context menu doesn't seem to be getting it's 'Turn off the hilight' event. The other issue is each time it appears it should reset any hilight markers.
I can't reproduce this on Mac in a curretn trunk build. But it does have a certain resonance with bug 94980'Keyboard navigation in context menu causes highlight upon reopening '
WorksForMe using Mac/2001112011. Ian, can you still reproduce this problem using Mozilla 0.9.6?
Ian Kennedy: Are you still seeing this bug? Bug 94980 which may have been related, was fixed Dec. 11th. last year In order to reply: Please use the form on web, link found near top of bugmail.
No reply, ->WFM. Ian re-open this bug if you can still see the bug in a current build. Thanks.
