131093 - Clicking on a newsgroup name wrongly spawns contextual menu

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 117589

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Greg K.]

From Bugzilla Helper:

Fizzilla takes too long to process a mouse click on a newsgroup name when focus
must be reset to the Folders pane, mistakenly triggering a click-hold contextual
menu spawn.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a news account in Mail & Newsgroups for news.mozilla.org and add two
groups
2. Click on the first group name
3. Click on a message in the message pane
4. Click on the second group name normally; that is, release immediately,
without holding.

Actual Results:  A contextual menu is spawned on the second group name.

Expected Results:  No contextual menu should have been spawned, 

Clicking between the group names isn't enough to cause this behavior. The extra
time needed to switch pane focus is necessary.

It would seem that Fizzilla, internally, is not processing the mouseUp event
soon enough to prevent triggering the click-hold contextual menu.
