218115 - Add folders to bookmarks toolbar, drop down the list, right click to display menu, control key activated

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 210910

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[John Whitehouse]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

I've created some folders full of bookmarks and added them to the bookmarks
toolbar. When I click on the folder icon a list of bookmarks appears (ok). I
then right click on a bookmark and choose "open in new tab". The page is openned
as expected but the toolbar button appears get stuck down and clicking on it has
no effect. Experimenting suggests that mearly showing the popup menu is
sufficient, you don't have to choose an option. It looks like the application
thinks the control key is pressed down, as the next thing you type launches some
unexpected action. 'A' for instance appeared to launch the first bookmark
beginning with 'A'. This played havoc with entering this report as when I
started typing lots of tabs were openned.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create folder of bookmarks and add to bookmarks toolbar
2. Click on folder icon in toolbar
3. Right click on one of the items in the drop down list and view the menu
4. Go to a form like this and try to enter some text

Actual Results:  
All sorts of windows open unexpectedly

Expected Results:  
Typed text should appear in the text entry window

This is a clean install and creating these folders was pretty much the first
customisation I've made.

old :)

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
