Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 173068

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[tim pratt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When Mozilla is opened on a secondary monitor: When using the drop-down menus, 
menu items are only highlighted briefly when the mouse is moved over them. 
Also, they do not auto-expand, and require a click to do so.

This problem is resolved when Mozilla window is dragged (at least half way) 
onto the primary display.

I am using a Dell Inspiron 3800 with ATI Rage Mobility 8MB AGP graphics card. 
Primary monitor is external 17" Dell P793 at 1600x1200. Secondary monitor is 
1024x768 LCD laptop screen. Both in 16-bit colour.

This problem can be reproduced with any combination of display settings where 
an extended desktop is present.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla on secondary display (extended desktop) in Windows XP.
2. Click on drop-down menu.
3. Hover mouse over menu item.

Actual Results:  
Menu item does not remain highlighted while mouse is held over menu item.
Folder menu items do not auto-expand - they require a mouse click.

Expected Results:  
As works on primary monitor:
Menu item remains highlighted while mouse is held over menu item.
Folder menu items auto-expand while mouse is held over them.
