worksforme, linux trunk build 2002-04-22-07....

Joubert Berger, do you have anything turned off under scripts & windows
preferences?  Are there any errors in the JS console?

[Johan Van de Wauw]

works fine on 2002041903 using Windows XP. Have you turned on javascript
(preferences\advanced\enable javascript)?

Comment 3

[Joubert Berger]

Sorry for the delay.

I have everything turned on that was suggested above.  

I am running build 2002041711.  Anyone know if a later build for linux does work?

Johan said it worked, but it was on a later build and on Windows.

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Yep.  Still worksforme, linux trunk build 2002-04-25-07....

I am running rc3 and am still having this problem.

Strangely, it worked once.  Then when I tried another menu option it did not
work.  I then exited out of mozilla and reentered and now none of the sub-menus
work.  I can pull down the main menu, but not get the sub-menus to work.  On IE,
it works without a problem.

[Joubert Berger]

I just tried something else.  When I selected the submenu, I told it to open the
link in a new tab window.  It worked then.  It just will not work in the current
window.

It works for me, using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1b)
Gecko/20020728.

Comment 8

[Kai Lahmann (is there, where MNG is)]

reporter, can you reproduce this on 1.1?

Comment 9

[Per Ångström]

I'm not the reporter, but I can report that the menus don't work for me; my
mouse clicks seem to go anything that lies behind the clicked item, probably
because the menu is dismissed just before the click reaches it.

I suspect that this bug is a dup of bug #132968, and I would like to invite the
reporter to try the sites mentioned there. As I mention in that bug, the
symptoms will only show after some time running in the same X session - my X
session is about a week old now, and I'm convinced that this site will work fine
initially when I restart X.

I'm currently running build 20020906.

I have tried with the following browser:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

And it still does not work for me.

I have tried with the following browser:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910

Still not working.

I'm able to reproduce this on solaris nightly 2002111822. I reduced the page to
a testcase, and it looks like this is a dupe of bug 132592.

The menu boxes have onMouseOut handlers which cause the menus to disappear; for
some reason these are triggered by clicking on one of the menu links, and for
some reason hiding the menu prevents mozilla from following the link.

I'm going to resolve this as a dupe and attach the testcase to bug 132592.
