When you open a file:/// URL and click on a file, it opens in the current window
(preventing me from avoiding to have to reload the file:/// URL by opening the
file in a new window).

I'm using Debian's M12 build (the ID says 1999082316)
Assigning all open "nobody@mozilla.org" bugs to "leger@netscape.com" to weed 
thru.
Assignee: nobody → leger
As reported, right-clicking on a file in a file:/// directory listing
loads the file in the same window immediately, but it also displays the 
longest context menu I have ever seen, seemingly with every item on it
that would go on *any* browser-object context menu.

It would appear that the context menu work for the directory-tree sort of
display is only just begun, if that. 

I'm not getting any clear picture of who owns this directory-tree stuff from
looking for file:// in the Summary and URL fields in the bug database.

Tested with: 2000-02-03-10-M14 nightly binary on Windows NT 4.0

Travis, who should get this sucker?  You?  Bill?  Is it some kind of whacky
Necko problem?

*** Bug 27466 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The work here involves hooking up a context menu and handlers for right click 
in directory.xul, work that is probably better suited to law@netscape.com 
(seeing as he "invented" context menus...)

Bug 30878 is a more general "right clicks shouldn't be treated as left clicks".

Damn, what's going on here? Why is this still open??????

I tested here, and right-clicking opens the context menu fine.

Somebody close and verify this please!
Works for me with Debian Woody and 2000101911
