132211 - Menu bevel not depressed until mouse movement.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Greg Edmiston]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020314
BuildID:    20020314

After opening a menu in the Linux port of Mozilla, the menu title does not
become "depressed" until the mouse moves again.  This annoying cosmetic issue
can trick naive users into thinking the browser is not being responsive.

A similar problem exists in the Windows & Linux builds, though not quite as
prominent;  a window title does not become "hilighted" after the menu is
released until the mouse moves again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Move the cursor to the File menu.
2.  Without moving the cursor, click to open the menu.

Part Two:

1.  Move the cursor to the File menu.
2.  Click to open the menu.
3.  Without moving the cursor, click once more to release.

Actual Results:  Note how the menu title did become depressed as expected, until
the mouse moves.

In part two, note that the menu did not become highlighted until the mouse moves
again.

Expected Results:  The menu should immediately become depressed after opening,
instead of waiting for mouse movement.

The menu should immediately become hilighted after closing, instead of waiting
for mouse movement.

Just a cosmetic bug, but issues such as these are VERY IMPORTANT TO USABILITY. 
Inconsistencies make software products less desirable to use.

The target milestone should only be set by the 'assigned to' (or in certain 
circumstances, by his 'boss' :-). Perhaps you were intending to add the 
mozilla1.0 keyword.

Linux/i386, Mozilla 1.0.1, using theme "modern" - I can reproduce the part two.
Part one wfm.
1. I keep the pointer away from the menu.
The menu item is plain, inactive.
2. I move the mouse onto the item. 
The item outline appears, as if it was standing out.
3.I click on the item.
The item goes down, "depressed" (wfm part 1), menu appears.
4. I click the item again
The item becomes plain, as in 1., not standing out like in 2.
5. I move the cursor a little over the item.
The item correctly stands out, like in 2.

The trunk seems to work for me now ( Metacity, Sawfish ).
