>>>   My Info:   Win7_64, Nightly 48, 32bit, ID 20160326030430
STR:
1. Open the following "data:" url or click URL in the form above
>   data:text/html,
2. Open Inspector, dock it to the bottom side of window
3. Select <body> in markup
4. Right-click "body" in breadcrumbs   [context menu will open]
5. Hover mouse over menuitem "Paste...", wait until submenu appears
6. Hover mouse over menuitem "Paste Outer HTML"

AR:  Somemenuitems disappear. Context menu jumps.
ER:  All menuitems should stay untouched. Menu shouldn't jump. Because literally nothing happened.
It looks like the "siblings" part of the menu disappears when you move your mouse away from the "Paste ..." item and onto the "Paste outer HTML" item.
One way to fix this would be to completely remove the siblings section, which is what I've suggested here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1259812#c1
I think this section isn't useful, and is often very distracting and making the menu unusable in some cases.

I'll take patches removing this altogether!

See openSiblingMenu in devtools\client\inspector\breadcrumbs.js
This isn't a "good first bug" because there might be some code here and there that needs to be changed as a result of this, and some tests might need to be removed/modified, but it's not a hard one to fix either. And I can mentor.
