200164 - application menus are sometimes not immediately responsive

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Marc Staudacher]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

see reproducibility.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
a) generic case
1. Start Mozilla
2. Browse and open additional windows or tabs
3. Now, while a page is loading go through the application menus

b) special case
1. Add a bookmark who has a wrong URL (e.g. a link to a Windows file share that
does not exist anymore)
2. Open the bookmark menu and select this bookmark.
Actual Results:  
a)
The menus are sometimes not immediately responsive.

b)
Application is "dead" (not responsive) until the non-existence has been
recognized (the bookmark menu does not disappear after having select the bad
bookmark entry).

Expected Results:  
Is it me who has to give you good advises? Well, I expect that the menu handling
is not affected by other Mozilla intern processes, i.e. no waiting for a menu to
open properly.

The problem did not exist (or at least I didn't notice) in version 1.2.1 and 1.1
on Windows (2000 and XP) or 1.1 on SPARC Solaris.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with Firefox 1.0? If not, this bug has
probably been fixed and can be closed. Thanks.

Thank you for following up this bug report.
I cannot reproduce the behavior in Firefox 1.0.
So it seems to be fixed.
