If you go to the reference URL and post a reply, then right click on one of the URLs listed in the post being replied to, the context menu will appear at the top of the screen rather than at the position of the mouse cursor. Further, none of the menu items do anything. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the reference URL. 2. Click on the "postreply" button. (You may need a MozillaZine user account for this.) 3. Rather than actually posting a reply, go to the bottom of the screen where the original post is displayed. 4. Right-click on a link to one of the bugs listed. Actual Results: Context menu appears at the top of the Mozilla window. Expected Results: Context menu should have appeared at the location of the mouse pointer. None of the context menu items work. You can click on any of them (Open in new window, new tab, save link, etc.) but they do nothing. The content menu is simply dismissed with no further activity. NOTE: Context menus work as expected when clicking on a link when VIEWING the post, just not when REPLYING to it.
Summary: Content menu appears in wrong vertical position, and menu items do nothing. → Context menu appears in wrong vertical position, and menu items do nothing.
Depends on: 185107
bz's fix for bug 185107 has fixed this in my build.

Reopening. Vertical positioning of context menus is now fixed - but the 2nd problem remains. None of the context menu items work. Follow steps to reproduce in bug description (look at additional notes under "Expected Results").

Resolution: FIXED → ---
Revising summary to better reflect (current) state of the bug. The vertical positioning (now fixed) was just cosmetic. The actual loss of functionality is the main focus of this bug.

worksforme, current trunk build, win2k (context menu on right click of link does not disappear; menuitems work as expected).
For me, with WinXP, the context menu doesn't disappear with a right-click - that's when it appears. But when you left-click on any item from the list, it goes away without performing the action that it should. Can anybody else confirm/deny this bug under XP? (Try opening one of the links in a new tab via the context menu, for instance.)
Additional tests: The 1/9 build of Phoenix for Win32 worked. But a completely fresh install of Mozilla 1/9/08 (deleting all files after removing old copy) under a totally new profile did not.
More information: How strange! I just discovered that some of the links DO work, but not others. (I happened upon this when trying to open a link to something I was replying to and was suprised to find it worked, so revisited this testcase.) For instance, follow the steps to reproduce this bug. Right-clicking on the first bug (160373) and selecting Open in New Tab works. But doing the same with the next bug (161928) does NOT.
Does the patch in bug 195878 help?
> Does the patch in bug 195878 help? Actually, it appears as if it's not needed. I just looked at this bug again, and now ALL links in the testcase work as expected. Some recent fix/checkin obviously corrected the problem. I'll resolve this as fixed.
