227034 - Bookmark context menu steals clicks from other bookmarks

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Jason Barnabe (np)]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031128
Firebird/0.7+

1. Open the Bookmarks menu
2. Right-click on a bookmark to bring up the context menu
3. Click another bookmark

Expected:
Go to the site of the clicked bookmark.

Actual:
Dismisses bookmarks menu, doesn't go to that site.

Compare this behaviour to clicking on the viewport with a bookmark context menu
open. Clicking on the viewport processes the click (follows link, context menu,
whatever)

Confirming.

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

this is fallout from the hacky fix for 210910, it should be resolved whenever
that part of the XUL menus code gets rewritten that fixes that bug.

Only Peers can + or - a flag. This flag was already minused. Resetting as such,
this is the 7th flag this user has wrongly changed.

Is this the same root cause, or a different bug?

1. Open Extension Manager or Download Manager
2. Right-click any item in the rich listbox
3. Click something else in the Extension Manager / Download manager, like the
Clean Up button or the Close (X) button

The context menu dismisses, but the button that was clicked in step 3 does not
receive the click.

This is on Windows 2000, 20051005 Firefox branch nightly.

I have confirmed this is still a bug in Firefox 3.1. It would be nice to have this fixed as I am always doing bookmark management in the menu; rather than in the Organize Bookmarks window. 

This bug is quite noticeable to the average user and if it is a small fix it would make a big difference imo.

Confirmed in build 20080504

On Firefox 12 the bug doesn't exists anymore. When executing the steps defined by Jason, the behavior is as expected: Firefox goes to the site of the clicked bookmark. So, I think this bug is RESOLVED. Can anyone change its status, please?

Yeah, works on Firefox 9.0.1 on Windows 7 as well.

when you right click on a bookmark, and then immediately right click on another bookmark, it doesnt change focus to the new bookmark, it remains on the old one
