1096087 - On OS X, right-click menu thinks it's too short to support all menu items. Obscures bottom item.

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Cory]

Attachment: right click menus.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141105223254



Actual results:

Right click menu doesn't seem to think it's tall enough to support all of the items in the menu. Shows a horizontal bar with a down arrow that obscures the bottom item in the menu. Clicking the down arrow doesn't do anything, and there doesn't seem to be a way to reveal the entire bottom item.


Expected results:

As the menu should be tall enough, all items should be displayed unobscured.

The bug isn't constant. I restarted Firefox to test in safe mode (the bug wasn't present) and restarted in regular mode and it's not currently occurring. Finding out what triggers it might be difficult?

Yes. I would expect it's related to one of the add-ons you've got installed, presumably one that alters the default context menu? The best idea I could come up with is trying to disable the ones that do that and seeing if the problem reoccurs, and where it doesn't, to re-enable them gradually to figure out the culprit.

On the other hand, it might be useful to keep track of where you first see this, and what kind of context menu that is (as the screenshot shows, not all the different additions to the menu show at all times, and at a guess, it could start happening after a particular addition is shown for the first time?)

In any case, it would be useful to know which add-on is involved, if any, and/or on what "kind" of context menu clicks (clicks on links, images, empty bits of page, selected text, ...) both so we can let the add-on author know and/or investigate if it's a problem with what the add-on does, or with the APIs that Firefox implements and the add-on uses...

The addons that add items to the right click menus are Adblock Plus, Pocket, Image Zoom, Leechblock and Redirector. I believe Adblock Plus, Image Zoom and Redirector are the only addons I had when this bug first started showing up. FireGesture also uses right click for gestures (like holding down right click and moving the cursor left or right to go forward and back).

The screenshot contains, in order, the standard context menu, the link context menu and the image context menu (I forgot to include the text one since I never use it).

I just used all of the right click menu items added by the addons, but none of the have triggered it.

I'll bite the bullet and disable Image Zoom and Redirector and see if it reoccurs nonetheless.
