Is the problem only in one of the edit fields or do all edit fields in that
dialog have a problem?  Is the problem specific to the link dialog or do other
dialogs also have this problem?

Confirm based on Syd's comment

This bug is still not fixed in:

Mozilla 1.0 Release Candidate 1
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417

[Ctrl] [v] will allow you to paste the link, but right click is still disabled.

Jon Bain--can you paste it into an image dialog?  I'm trying to understand if
the context menu is broken only for the link dialog or for all dialogs.

The problem is that context menus don't work in "editable menulists", even
though there is an input field inside. Today, I don't see any popup menu at all,
not just menuitems that are disabled!
Kin: Didn't you recently fix context popups in textfields? The textfield in 
and editable menulist is annonymous countent inside the <menulist> widget.

Context menus now work correctly in <textbox> XUL widget, but not in 
<menulist editable="true">.
Obviously some XBL binding magic needs to happen to make them work in the 
input portion that is anonymous content inside the menulist widget.

This sucks. Unfortuntaley, it affects a very important feature: pasting 
a link inside Composer's Link Properties dialog.
We definitely need to release note this.

This bug is one of the top complaints we get for Composer.  Nominating for
nsbeta1 consideration.  Reset milestone to current milestone (but it should
probably be retriaged).

Jan, Blake, could either of you take a look at this?

Clearing the milestone since no commitment to fixing this has been made yet.

I think we should add "textbox-input-box" class here:
  <binding id="menulist-editable" extends="..."
    <content>
      <xul:hbox class="textbox-input-box menulist-editable-box" flex="1">
        <html:input flex="1" class="menulist-editable-input" allowevents="true"
                    xbl:inherits="value=label,disabled"/>
      </xul:hbox>

but there's more to do, since now there are 2 menupopups, so code needs to count
with it

This is working in my build as of 12/5/02.
Fixed by Neil's fix for bug 118038 (or some other bug he's fixed recently)?
Neil can dup this.
