109842 - Menus should highlight when items they contain are activated by keyboard shortcuts on Mac OS

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 50590

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Andy Lyttle]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.5+) Gecko/20011109
BuildID:    2001110908

When a keyboard shortcut is pressed to activate an item in a menu, the menu in
the menubar should briefly highlight.  All other Mac apps do this (or at least
they're supposed to).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select some text
2. Press Command-C to copy

Actual Results:  There is no visual feedback

Expected Results:  The Edit menu should briefly highlight

This is somewhat related to Bug 66120.

From bug 50590:

But whatever, that's a minimum interval; if the operation itself takes longer 
than 8/60 of a second (e.g. pasting a large quantity of text), the menu should 
stay lit for the whole operation. We already do this for opening dialogs, so 
presumably it's possible for other operations.

Whoops, ignore that.  Too many similarly-numbered bugs open at one time.
