151427 - Menu selections changed place between version 1.0 and 1.1

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Isaac Wingfield]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611
BuildID:    2002061103

In the drop-down menu for opening a new page (on a Mac, click-hold on a hot
link), the selection "Open Link in New Tab" has been the topmost one for many
builds over many months. With this build, it is second; "Open Link in New
Window" is now on top. This is not good. Why did it change?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
click-hold on a hot link

Actual Results:  note that the entries are reversed from all previous builds

Expected Results:  the entries should not have been rearranged

confirmed

To replicate this bug click with the right mouse button on a link in your
browser. A small menu opens.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
Top Menu Selection: "Open Link in New Tab"

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611
Top Menu Selection: "Open Link in New Window"

Two reasons I think support putting the top menu selection back to the tab
option as in Mozilla 1.0.0:

1.) Most of the end-users will now continue using Mozilla 1.0 (not yet changing
to Mozilla 1.1 as still Alpha). So they will get used to the settings of Mozilla
1.0.
2.) Personally (and I think most of the other users) more often choose to open
in a new tab instead of a new window.
