Description

[Jay Davis]

This is sporadic on my system but the (I assume dhtml) menus popup but then
disappear if you move over them to make a choice.

Jay, what build are you using?  I can't reproduce this with Linux trunk build
2002-10-07-08.

Comment 2

[Jay Davis]

This is with build 2002100808 which I am using on W2K

Comment 3

[Jay Davis]

A clarification to this bug: It appears the problem with the menus disappearing
is occuring until the page say it is "Done" loading, and subsequently they work
fine.  This still shouldn't be occuring.  It's a bug.

Boris,

Can you try the Logitech page again?  The menus are only staying open and able
to be clicked AFTER the web page is completely finished loading.

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Jay, I can't get the pageload to take long enough that I can trigger the menus
before it's complete....

Boris,
 You've reminded me of how slow my dial-up connection is. ;-)  Maybe someone
else will be able to check this out, but I guess it's a mostly unimportant bug.

I was able to reproduce this with Moz 1.3b on WinXP Pro.  Not sure which
component this goes to, though.

[Henrik Lynggaard Hansen]

I think this bug should be resolved as invalid or something like that. 

I have been looking at the bug and here is what I have found.

- The logitech site appear to be running milonic's dhtml menu version 3.3.19
(quite old)

- the changelog for the dhtml menu reads:
 Version 3.4.08
    * Fixed bug with sub menus not appearing until page fully loaded

so I think the problem is the menu code, not mozilla.

[Jon Henry]

Henrik's right, that menu system's changelog explicitly says this was a bug in
their code. I'm going to mark this INVALID, since things are pointing to it
being the website's fault and not Mozilla's. Please reopen if you disagree.
Thanks for the catch, Henrik.
