111444 - bookmarks toolbar menu won't close if link is dragged over it

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 108628

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Alan Kelm]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120
BuildID:    2001112012

When a link is being dragged (by left-clicking on either the locator box
mini-icon or on a link on a page),  if the mouse happens to pass over the
Bookmarks toolbar item,  the entire Bookmarks drop-down menu appears.  Assuming
that the intention was to drag the link to another Mozilla window,  rather than
to file it as a bookmark,  it seems impossible to get the bookmark menu to
close.  Even after releasing the mouse,  the bookmarks menu remains open.  Any
combination of clicking and mouse movement won't get the bookmarks menu to close.

Shifting to other applications and desktops this bookmarks menu continues to be
open and retakes the focus from any other window I try to select.  In short, 
the computer is unusable until I find some way to make this bookmarks menu go
away.  With some difficulty I can usually get my window manager
(Enlightenment/Gnome in Redhat 7.1) to close the Mozilla application (and all
its windows).

I've had this problem since at least Mozilla 0.9.4 and it's about as frustrating
as a browser crash (since I must close the browser to get the drop-down menu
closed).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Left-click on mini-icon in Mozilla location box
2. While holding down the left button (to drag), move the mouse over the
bookmarks toolbar item (so its drop-down menu appears).
3. Try to continue dragging to another Mozilla window (as bookmarks wasn't the
intended destination of the drag)
4. Since the bookmarks menu won't close and retains focus,  try releasing the
mouse button and any combination of mouse movement and clicks.  The menu still
won't go away or release focus.
5. Try any other mozilla controls (window close button, menus, other Mozilla
windows).  None will work.
6. With difficulty get window manager to close the Mozilla application. The
bookmarks menu now disappears, together with the rest of Mozilla.


Actual Results:  The bookmarks drop-down menu (in the toolbar), once opened, 
remains open and will not close or release focus.

Expected Results:  When the mouse was moved off the bookmarks menu (or the left
mouse button was released) the bookmarks menu should have closed.

My configuration:
Mozilla release 0.9.6 or 0.9.5 or 0.9.4 (all exhibit problem)
Redhat 7.1 Linux
Ximian Gnome with Enlightenment window manager
