195922 - Under some (unknown) circumstances mozilla looses ability to select subitems of css-popup-menus

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 102578

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Georg Ludwig]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

The example of Eric A.Meyer does the same as I have in my application. It uses
CSS to create popup-menus. Usually mozilla behaves very well with this. But
on some circumstances mozilla stops accepting clicks on the popped-up submenus.
It still shows the popups and shows the associated links, but clicking on them
closes the popup and nothing happens. 

Closing mozilla does not solve this problem - only shutting down the XServer
and restarting it - so I'm not really sure whether this may be a mozilla or
XFree-Bug. By the way - I'm using RedHat 7.2 running apache 2.0 and XFree 
4.1.03.

I could bypass the failure using two ways:

1) Opening the popup and tab through the links while hitting enter on the
   desired item

2) Clicking fast on first the toplevel item and the quickly after this on
   the desired, popped up item


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Happens somethimes - steps leading to the fault not sure, but using mozilla
very frequently.
Actual Results:  
CSS Popup-Menus not selectable any more

Expected Results:  
CSS Popup-Menus
