11661 - Second display of menu using keyboard reveals submenu

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[cpratt]

Build ID: 1999081008 (Win32)
Platform: Windows NT (investigating Linux, Mac OS)

To reproduce:
- Launch apprunner
- Position the cursor so that it's approximately underneath the Bookmarks menu,
about halfway down the page.
- Press Alt-B to drop down the Bookmarks menu
- Press the left cursor key to move to the Go menu
- Press the right cursor key to move back to the Bookmarks menu

Result: Depending on where exactly your cursor is positioned, a submenu of the
Bookmarks menu will display (eg the News and Sports menu).

Expected result: The submenu should not display. That is, when the Bookmarks
menu is drawn a second time, it should not interpret the cursor position as a
click on the submenu, and it should not do the same thing that it does when the
menu is selected using the cursor. Refer to Communicator 4.x for correct
behavior.

This is a problem in the menu coding, I believe.

joki, I appear to be getting a mouse move when I create a new view underneath
the mouse (even though the mouse hasn't moved at all).  This seems to come from
the OS, so I guess it's expected behavior.

I'm not sure how I tell that the mouse move is "bogus".

I think the problem here has to do with the fact that the menus are generated
from RDF. You will see the same problem using the mouse with the Bookmarks
menu; however, you will _not_ see this problem on a non-RDF generated menu.

Hyatt: I think we talked about this last week, and you seemed to think that it
was your fault for some reason (maybe menu code not responding to
ContentAppended notifications).
