1806992 - Nested context menus vanish when mouse-over hint is rendered

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Cedric]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:108.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/108.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open a context menu which is fully nested in the FF main window (i.e. the FF main window has to be sufficiently large to contain the entire frame of the conext menu). Move the mouse over one of the context menu's item which cause a mouse-over hint.

E.g. Open the UBlock Origin menu and move the mouse over the "Speech Bubble" button.

Actual results:

The mouse-over hint appears (e.g. "Report an issue on this website") and the context menu disappears spontaneously.

Shrinking the FF main window to a point where the context menu is no longer nested makes the context menu sponantenously reappear.

Expected results:

The context menu should not disappear.

Under sway-1.7, wlroots-0.15.1

By context menu I mean the popup which appears when you (left-) click the UBlockOrigin button.

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Cocoa' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Could you confirm whether or not this is a duplicate of bug 1763990?

Comment 6

[Cedric]

I can't reproduce bug 1763990. However, when I tried, I noticed a very similar behaviour in the "Bookmark Page" popup: The popup vanishes in a similar fashion when I open the drop-down menu "Location" while the drop-down itsself appears.

Similiar behaviour with drop-downs ("Location") instead of mouse-over hints.

Comment 9

Got a couple of confirmations on IRC

• firefox-108.0.1 on Arch
• firefox-esr 102.6.0esr-1 and firefox 108.0-2, as well as some older versions on Debian (Bookworm)

(all with sway)

Thanks for the report!
Does this problem still exist with https://nightly.mozilla.org?
If not, does it still exist if you start Nightly with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 environment variable? $ MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 path/to/firefox

Comment 12

[Cedric]

I can't reproduce it in the "Bookmark Page" > "Location" drop-down on 110.0a1 nightly. It works correctly irrespective of the MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND value.

Comment 13

[Cedric]

FTR: Mouse-over hints in the "Downloads" popup (filename), which caused the issue on 108.0.1, also work on nightly.

So it's fixed in latest nightly, right? So closing then.
Thanks.
