228273 - tooltips appear on the menuitems of menu-buttons

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 147670

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Steffen Wilberg]

If you let the tooltip of a menu-button appear, then click the dropmarker and
hover over the dropdown menuitems, the tooltip of the button appears on them as
well. It shouldn't.

If you let a tooltip from a different button display, then quickly open
the dropdown before the tooltip of the menu button appears, the tooltip
of the other button is displayed on the menuitems.

If you specify tooltiptext="" on the menuitems, it doesn't display the
menu-button tooltip, but " ", i.e. an empty box.

This happens on Firebird's back and forward dropdown menu, and SeaMonkey's print
dropdown menu.
Testcase upcoming.

This shows two menu-buttons. The left one is what I've done so far for bug
178215, the right one has tooltiptext="" on the menuitems.

1. Hover over the left button. The tooltip "Print this page" appears.
2. Click the dropmarker. Hover over one of the menuitems. The tooltip appears
as well.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 on the right button. An empty box appears as tooltip on the
menuitems.
4. Quickly click on the dropmarker of the left button and hover over one of its
menuitems so that the tooltip of the button doesn't appear. The blank box
appears on the menuitems of the left button as well.

5. Hit F5 (page reload).
6. Click the dropmarker of the left button and quickly hover over one of the
menuitems, so that the button tooltip does not appear. Result: The menuitems
show a blank tooltip, but smaller than	the one from step 3.

The only workarounds I've found so far are to remove the tooltip from the
menu-button, or the add appropriate tooltips to the menuitems.
But the first is inconsistent with the other buttons in Firebird, all of which
have tooltips; the second is inconsistent with menus, which normally don't have
tooltips.

Indeed. The summary of bug 147670 doesn't reflect that, but the dozen of dupes.
And the patch attached to bug 147670 works!!!
