1250072 - ALT+F twice close the active tab

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Christophe JAILLET]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:44.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/44.0
Build ID: 20160210153822

Steps to reproduce:

When I open the menu with the ALT+F shortcut, the File menu is opened, and the first item in this menu is selected.
Fine.

But if I do another ALT+F, the menu is closed AND THE ACTIVE TAB IS CLOSED



Expected results:

It is surprising to close a tab this way.
IMHO, only closing the menu should happen

FWIW I can't reproduce in nightly.

Comment 2

[Christophe JAILLET]

I confirm on FF 44.0.2 on Win7

I can not reproduce under Ubuntu with FF 44
(on Ubuntu, each ALT+F only re-open the menu)

I tested on the latest nightly build on Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10. Second ALT+F closes the previous file menu and open another file menu. I am not sure if it is the expected behaviour?

Tested on aurora:
   firefox-46.0a2.fr.win32.installer
--> still the same, the second ALT+F close the current tab


Tested on nightly:
   firefox-47.0a1.en-US.win32.installer (2016 02 24)
--> Second ALT+F closes the previous file menu and open another file menu. (as already reported by  Kanchan Kumari QA )


Both tested with Win XP (running in a VM)


So, it seems that this has been fixed and should be released in one of the coming release.
Should this report be closed, then?

Changing the status to Resolved-WFM as issue is no more reproducible on current nightly build. Feel free to reopen if you encounter this issue again.

Good question. Jim?

I tried reproducing on nightly, aurora, and release. In nightly and aurora I tried in an e10s window and a non-e10s window. In all cases I couldn't reproduce. The second 'alt' closes the first menu and the 'f' reopens it.
