Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 72001

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Nate Weisz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

I frequently hide the menu bar to gain that 1/4 inch of screen real estate. When
I launch with the menu bar hidden and press alt-b to see the bookmarks menu, it
does not show the drop-down bookmarks menu. Furhtermore, if I then show the menu
bar, I will not be able to choose the bookmarks menu with my mouse! I will never
see it again in the window in which this is occuring. Other menus will work fine
with keyboard shortcuts and/or mouse when the menu bar is present and/or hidden.

If I launch with the menu bar showing and use the mouse to see the bookmarks
menu first, before hiding the menu bar, it will then show fine when the menu bar
is hidden...in fact it will always be fine in this case.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hide menu bar
2. Re-launch mozilla
3. Verify menu bar not present in window
4. Press alt-b 

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens when you perform step 4 (press alt-b). I should see the
bookmarks menu. Also, now you will never see the bookmarks menu, even when you
show the menu bar and use your mouse.

Expected Results:  
Upon step 4 (press alt-b), mozilla should have displayed the bookmarks menu.
After showing the menu bar, mozilla should then show the bookmarks menu when I
use my mouse.

theme = littleMozilla 1.3, but this happens with modern too
