I will simply explain the steps to the problem, it will be obvious.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Bookmarks in the menu bar
2. Browse bookmarks and select a folder (i use my imported ie bookmarks)
3. Browse bookmark folder and select a subfolder (in my case 'news').  The
contents of the subfolder should now be displayed.
4. Right click 'news' and choose manage bookmarks.

Actual Results:  
The manage bookmarks window opens.
The bookmarks menu closes
BUT
but the box showing the contents of 'news' remains open.
It remains ontop of all windows including other applications that may be opened.

Expected Results:  
The manage bookmarks window opens.
The bookmarks menu closes.
The box showing the contents of subfolder closes.

I have a screen shot which i will attach if i can.

This occurs with the Open in Tabs menu item as well. (could someone tweak the
summary?)

Updating summary. This affects other menus as well. For example, right-click the
toolbar to show the "Customize..." menu, and then click the Bookmarks menu.

I have a similar issue.  Worse though, them menu stays visible on top of
everything even after switching to another app.

An easier way to reproduce this:
1) Right-click on a web page.
2) After the context menu appears, click on any menu on the menu bar.  The menus
flash up and disappear.  The context menu incorrectly remains.
3) Switch to another window/application either by clicking on it, or clicking on
its icon on the task bar.

I'm using Win2K AS and Mozilla Firebird 0.6.  Mozilla 1.3.1 doesn't behave like
this - it behaves correctly.

    
    

    
  
The scenario from comment 11 has shown up in the main Mozilla branch as well,
bug 206919.

    
    

    
  
WFM Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030523 Mozilla
Firebird/0.6

Didn´t work with 0.6 Release, working now after installing todays nightly.

    
    

    
  
Comment 11 is WFM in 20030523 PC/WinXP but comment 1 is still broken.

    
    

    
  
i can confirm comment #1 with 20030526

this bug appears not only in a subfolder, but with the "parent" (comment #1
imported ie) folder aswell.
Try right-clicking on a folder an then move the mouse away.
The menu will stay.

    
    

    
  
About Comment #15, menus are supposed to be open until the next mouse-click.
It's when they don't that ppl file bugs like this.

    
    

    
  
Sorry about the bugspam but I left out a smiley at the end of my last comment
and it totally changed the tone.

I have a similar problem on Windows.

  1) Click on the URL drop-down.
  2) Click on a menu button ("Bookmarks")

Problem: both menus are open at once.  It becomes very difficult to close the
URL drop-down!  You have to know to hit ESC twice, or click on a blank spot on
the web page.  Clicking on a blank spot on the menu bar does not work.

What I expected: when clicking on Bookmarks, the URL menu should close.  Only
one menu should be open at one time.

Closes open bookmark folder menus manually before dispatching a command

I know hyatt's been in here recently...review?

The patch fixes http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210910 but this bug
still remains. However kudos goes out to hyatt for fixing that bug!

    
    

    
  
Jamez is right, we figured that out together on IRC. The weird thing is, that
this patch intended fixes bug 210910, but not bug 197112 :-|

And Jamez, the patch was not from Hyatt, it was from paxunix.

Doh!  I confused the two bugs...thanks for pointing it out.  Dropping review
request and obsoleting patch.  I've attached the patch to bug 210910 for
review.

I can reproduce this with 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030811 Mozilla
Firebird/0.6.1+

After patching with the patch I obsoleted, I can't reproduce it.  Does anyone
else notice different results when patched with this patch?  I tried with
X-Mouse functionality enabled and disabled and, with the patched version, all
menu popups always went away.  I could be missing something...

anything valuable to contribute to this bug, don't leave any comment.
