207030 - Clicking an open menu's title to hide it prevents it from showing on the next click

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 204770

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[nautilus]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

When a menu is active (visible) in Firebird, clicking on the title deactivates
(hides) the menu, as it should. However, when the menu title is clicked again to
open the menu, whether immediately or following other browsing activity, the
menu either pops up and immediately disappears, or it fails to display at all. A
second click will activate the menu properly. Note that in no instance am I
talking of a double-click.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click the title of any menu on the menu bar. The menu will pop up.
2. Click the title again. The menu should disappear.
3. Click the title yet again. The menu will either immediately flash on and then
just as quickly disappear, or it will fail to appear at all.
4. Click the title once more. The menu will display normally, and the process
will repeat itself again from step 2.

Actual Results:  
The menu failed to appear on the third click.

Expected Results:  
The menu should have appeared normally.

Theme: Default
Extensions: All extensions were disabled

I think this is a duplicate of Bug 205847, which itself was marked as a
duplicate of Bug 204770. However, reading 204770 I don't see this problem
mentioned there. It is already marked fixed.

Anyway:
In addition to step 3: The menu stays open as long as I click on the title and
immediately disappears when I stop. It doesn't matter which menus you try, e.g.
you can open and close the File menu and when you click on Tools menu it won't
come up correctly.

Yes, it does seem to be the same as at least the first bug you mention, which 
has been determined to be caused by the same problem as the second. :)

My question is, why, when I spent a good hour reading and going through the 
steps specified by Buzilla, did these other bugs not show up in the search for 
previously reported bugs? I only got 40-some listings from the search, and none 
were the ones you mentioned.

nautilus, do you still see this problem in latest nightly? This is WFM using
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030525 Mozilla
Firebird/0.6

Since I was able to reproduce this bug using a Gecko/20030515 build of Mozilla
Firebird and I'm not able to reproduce this anymore using latest nightly I'd
suggest resolving this one as duplicate of bug #204770 per comment #1.

Nautilus, if problem still persists on your site using latest nightly please
feel free to reopen bug!

You have my apologies for reporting a duplicate bug. I still can't figure out
why the other bug didn't show up in the search I did for previously reported bugs.

I know that the standard procedure for installing Firebird is to remove the old
version; however, will it likely work all right to simply extract the latest
nightly over my current installation, since I already have Firebird 0.6 (rather
than an older version)?

I've delayed installing the nightly because it takes about 30 minutes to get
everything set up exactly the way I want it after a complete removal and
re-installation.

Thanks. :)

nautilus, it's ok if you file a bug and if afterwards this one gets marked as
duplicate since it's always some kind of trial & error to use the right words /
keywords when using a query.

In your case the problem may be caused by the fact you only searched for
"Phoenix" bugs but the problem has been caused by SeaMonkey code - hence the
already existing bug has been filed against Product "Browser". Or perhaps you
were also fooled by using the "wrong" words when building the query?
Nevertheless if you've got further questions please feel free to email me to
avoid spaming this bug.
