1067886 - Disabled buttons opens context menu on right click but the contextmenu event is not fired

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P5)

Description

[Magnus]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Build ID: 20140915030204

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open this jsfiddle example http://jsfiddle.net/3zw2jc2h/4/
2. Right click the enabled button (which is named Enabled)
3. Right click the disabled button (which is named Disabled)



Actual results:

When right click on the enabled button an alert and the native context menu opened

When right click on the disabled button the native context menu opens but the alert did not open



Expected results:

The alert should open when right click on the disabled button (since the native context menu opens and I open an alert on the contextmenu event).

Or the native context menu should not open on right click on the disabled button and  no context menu event should be fired (as the behavior is on e.g. Chrome).


I found this bug in Firefox version 32.0.1 and I can reproduce it in Firefox Nightly 35.0a1 (2014-09-15).

Doesn't work in Chrome and IE too.

As Paul said, Chrome's behavior is the same as ours.  At least on Mac.

Fundamentally, this is related to bug 329509, I bet.
