187723 - Pulldown menus do not disappear after something outside the menu or a menu item has been clicked

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 102330

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Paul Tepper]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

The pulldown menus often do not disappear after a menu has been clicked. Also,
if I click a pulldown menu, then decide not to click an item in the menu, and I
want to dismiss the menu, clicking somewhere outside the menu should make it
disappear, but it doesn't. For example, after I open the pulldown menu for the
Back button, and click a link, the pulldown menu stays showing and doesn't
disappear. This happens with other pulldown menus as well. 

(I'm assuming the bug is still present in 1.3, but I haven't downloaded that
version as it's improvements are all the in the mail reader, which I'm not using).

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a pulldown menu for the Back button (happens on other pulldown menus
elsewhere sometimes)
2. Click somewhere in the browser outside the menu to dismiss it, or click on an
item in the menu
3.

Actual Results:  
In the browser window I have opened to report this bug, the bug happened (menu
didn't disappear). When I opened a new window it didn't.

Expected Results:  
It should have disappeared in the former case, as it did in the latter case.

I'm using the modern theme. I haven't looked for the bug under any other themes.
