1854111 - Focus is inconsistent in submenu when switching between mouse and arrow keys

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: UI Widgets, defect, P2)

Description

This came during review of bug 1845333, as a result of one set of changes to prevent double focusing in the panel-list and submenu panel-list which the submenu is active, there are some combo keyboard/mouse inconsistencies that need to be fixed.

1. If you open a submenu item with your mouse and hover over one of the menu items in the submenu panel-list, press ArrowDown the focus redirects to the first child of the host panel-list.

2. If you open a submenu item by mouse and switch to arrow keys to navigate to the first child, that doesn't work - it focuses to somewhere on the host panel-list.

And even though submenu tests were added in firefox view, some should be added to test for submenu in toolkit/content/tests/widgets especially for focus/arrow key navigation.

I won't be able to get to this anytime soon, but I haven't seen any issues/additional bugs pop up because of this.
