Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Gili Tzabari]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:0.9.6+) Gecko/20011119
BuildID:    2001111911

Hitting ALT (alone) should close pull-down menus if they're already open,
otherwise the PM-window options should pop open.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hit ALT while pull-down menus are open
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Two menus are open, the PM-window options and the Mozilla
pull-down menus

Expected Results:  ALT is hit when:

- submenus are closed THEN pm-window options should open
- submenus are open THEN submenus should close (pm-window options remain close
as well)

hmm, works in win98 nightly from yesterday. what is a "PM" window on OS/2?

Comment 2

[Gili Tzabari]

PM stands for "Presentation Manager". Think of it as a Window Manager for OS/2;
all GUI windows are PM windows.

The Alt key should work as the OS does, highlighting the menu. It should not 
bring down the system menu,

Attachment: modified widget\src\os2\nsWindow.cpp

Modified nsWindow.cpp so that ALT will have the same behavior on OS/2 as on
Windows. Alt will now close open menus without opening the PM-window menu, and
will toggle menu's active/inactive state when pressed.	The PM-Window menu will
open when Alt+Space is pressed.
