164747 - menu items do not depress and take focus in some window managers

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 132211

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

Using Metacity or Sawish under GNOME on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0, also tested on
Solaris 7 with the same window managers. Works using other window managers, such
as KWM (KDE), FVWM2, WindowMaker.

This occurs with all items on the file menubar, here is an example :

Steps to reproduce :

1) click "File" item on menubar

Expected results :

The "File" item should be depressed, the pop-down menu should appear and obtain
focus so that the user can use arrow keys to navigate the entries on the menu.

Actual results :

The "File" item is not depressed, the pop-down menu appears but it does not
receive focus.

Additional info :

I do not know where the focus goes. However, if I move the mouse at all while
still remaining within the boundaries of the "File" item, the item will be
depressed and will be focused normally.

Pressing the "alt-f" modifier works normally.
