Need this new widget in for many buttons in mail and browser. The widgets contains both of an action button area as well as of a fly-out menu trigger area next to it. Here is what we need (agreed on): We need to be able to configure the menu to come out both at the left or right side, and by default the menu should be aligned on a left aligned trigger area and right-aligned on a right-aligned trigger area. _______ _______ |V|____| |____|V| |Item1 | |Item1 | |Item 2| |Item 2| |Item 3| |Item 3| |______| |______| We also need to treat capture hover and mousedown events seperately for both areas. The disabled state will affect the whole area. Backgrounds should be able to span both areas.

Jan, are you aware that without this we are either deciding that menus on forward and back buttons (and others) are not needed for dogfood, or we are committing to do throw-away work on timing loops to popup menus, that nobody wants to do?
No not aware since this bug is marked as an enhancement and this is not clear in the info. Bug still marked as P3/Enhancement. Please update these fields as appropriate to the severity and importance of this bug. I don't think we need menus on our buttons in dogfood. Others?
updated marking to put back on the radar. We -really- do need this as soon we can get it! Thanks.
to be more precise, mail will not be functional without, browser will need and so does the editor/formatting toolbar. There are other place in dialogs where this is needed too!

German, to get this back on the radar you need to either delete the PDT- or mail to pdt@netscape.com.

I'll see that I can create a test XUL file next week. You're right we're still working on the exact design, now that we have got hyatt's XUL implementation.

I would vote for removing the PDT+ attribute for now and reduce the severity. An earlier solution did not work out and wasn't even worth providing a test case as the technology was too limited to give us a properly designed/aligned menu button. With Hyatt's upcoming XBL mechanism on the horizon we'll have a good chance to be able to build these buttons, but after beta1! Once XBL gels we can provide a test case around m15/16?. Sorry for the delay but we had tried to build a good test case but it was just not ready for real-world consumption. If we see a problem then we can reopen the bug then OK?

Using build 2000-04-11-08 on mac and -09 on win and linux mailnews has no menus for toolbar buttons so I'm going to reopen this for missing menus in the 3-pane window. Specifically for the following buttons: Forward (while a Mail msg is selected) Reply (while a News msg is selected) Reply All (whild a News msg is selected) Next (when any mail message is selected) I also noticed that the Browser doesn't have any fly out menus like in 4.7x, so I'm not sure if this is regression for Browser because I didn't test this. If this bug is not for the sub menus for Toollbar buttons for all of the windows in the product, then state that and I will log a separate but for mail new menus that are missing.
