192078 - back button menu persists after selection when opened by dragging, and keyboard shortcuts stop working

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 102330

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

Description

[Daniel Fairchild]

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

When I click and drag open the back (or forward) button menu (the little one
with the downward pointing triangle), rather than by clicking and releasing, the
menu persists after I select a page.  Then it backgrounds itself behind the
browser window, and keyboard shortcuts stop working until I move the browser
window and close it, which requires selecting the correct page again (otherwise
the browser will change location).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change URL (just so there is a history).
2. Click small back menu button (with triangle, not arrow).  Do not release
mouse button.
3. While holding the mouse button down, select a location to go to.
4. Release mouse button.

Actual Results:  
The menu remained in place for a few seconds, and then moved down behind the
browser window when the location changed.  Keyboard shortcuts stopped working.

Expected Results:  
The menu should have disappeared once a location was selected.  (Note: browser
did change location without incident.)

I'm still using MacOS 8.6, on an old PowerBook 3400.
Further investigation reveals that the backgrounding behavior does not always
occur, but other behavior remains the same.
