129615 - Menus on menubar don't follow cursor when you click quickly

Status: NEW

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Colin Phillips]

Normally when you click to open a menu and you move along the menubar, the
menu's for each of the following menu title will appear, however, if you do this
too quickly, the menu's don't follow.  Here's a testcase:

This works:
1) Click on "File" & wait for the menu to appear
2) mouse over edit, view, etc. and all the menu's appear normally

This doesn't:
1) Click on "File" and immediately move the mouse cursor over "Edit"
2) notice that you can go go all the way along the menubar without the menu's
for edit, view, etc poping up like in the above test case.
3) also notice that if you then mouse over "File" again, everything is happy again.
-- This also happens if you quickly mouse over a menuitem in the "file" menu,
and then try to have the "Edit" menu popup.  Of course it also happens to occur
in essentially any other menubar in mozilla.

It does not work for me - the menus do not appear.
