Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[tossj]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
Build ID: 20170814072924

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Firefox
2. Right-click on any page to open context menu
3. Click out of the context menu

For toolbar buttons:
1. Press the downloads button
2. The downloads drop-down will appear
3. Click away from the drop-down


Actual results:

The context menu does not disappear and remains in focus despite the click.

For the toolbar buttons:
The drop-down menu does not disappear and remains in focus.

I am using 55.0.2 64-bit on Windows 10. I tried in a fresh profile and this error did not happen. This error started happening yesterday, and I should note that I started noticing it after I was developing and testing a Firefox WebExtension. I have disabled all add-ons and the error remains, in my main profile.


Expected results:

The context menu should have disappeared.

The drop-down toolbar menus should have disappeared.

Pressing the ESC button removes the context menu/toolbar drop-down that would normally be removed by clicking out.

The error remains in Safe Mode.

We have various ways through Firefox development to keep menus open. It sounds like you may have enabled it. In the Browser Toolbox, look to see if the four-squares button is enabled (it looks like four boxes in a 2x2 grid).

I'm closing this bug as invalid since this doesn't happen in a fresh profile.
