When you right click in any flash portion of a webpage, the menu comes up... You
cannot close the menu by clicking outside its window (as intented), rather the
only way to close it is to click on the middle of 2 options (so nothing gets
executed in the menu)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right click on some flash section of a page
2.Click outside the flash options window


Actual Results:  Window does not dissapear

Expected Results:  Window should be dismissed
I've seen this, but all you have to do to dismiss the dialogue is left click on 
the flash image.  If you click outside of the image the menu remains.
Not an option. Most flash images takes you to a link when clicking in them.
Also, some right click menus on flash are only one line (check
astalavista.box.sk) which makes them impossible to dismiss. Also, i think this
is 4xp, so as you see i have more than enough reasons to file this bug
Works for me on Mozilla build 2001121303 on Windows ME.

In the test case for bug 73020
http://www.planettribes.com/allyourbase/AYB2.swf
I was able to dismiss Flash's contextual menu dialog with any of the
following procedures:
 * click the status bar
 * drag from the context menu to anywhere outside the menu
 * press ESC on keyboard

All three procedures worked.  In addition, if a Flash movie is EMBEDded in
a page, clicking elsewhere on the page dismisses the dialog.  Test case:
http://www.planettribes.com/allyourbase/video.shtml

Reporter, does this occur in recent nightly builds?
(Go to http://www.mozillaZine.org to find one that doesn't contain too
many bad bugs.)
I forgot to say that .swf files directly loaded in the browser are dismissed fine.
The problem is only in embedded html pages with flash, as the one you pointed
out. This still happens for me on a just compiled cvs version.

Remember this bug is linux only.
Francisco, pls provide a test page where you see this happening..thanks!
Any webpage that has an embedded .swf file in an .htm(l) file
http://www.planettribes.com/allyourbase/video.shtml is one example

Direct .swf files are easily dismissable. I am using linux, xfree 4.1, kde 2.2.2

http://astalavista.box.sk has an embedded .swf file, with the right-click flash 
info being just one line, so it is not dismissable by any means (multi-line info 
are dismissable by clicking in "cold spots" as explained in the bug description)
