Eli orginally saw this last week --i'm able to repro this with today's comm bits on winNT and linux (2000011108 and 2000011110, respectively). Eli, did you see this occur on Mac as well? (i haven't tried with today's bits...yet.) anyhow, the really annoying thing here is figuring out the precise steps to make this thing show up. here is a possible recipe --but if doesn't work, feel free to come over to my cube so that i can attempt to repro it for ya! 1. startup seamonkey, turn off the Sidebar. 2. go to a non-framed page (for simplicity's sake). 3. over some whitspace or non-linked text (again, just to keep this simple), bring up the context menu --no items should be highlighted at this point. 4. move the mouse over an item (eg, Back) so that it becomes highlighted. 5. click the item a couple times (with the right-mouse button), which should do nothing (bug 17159 or bug 21459). 6. move the mouse pointer outside the context menu, and click again (with right button) to dismiss the context menu. 7. bring up the context menu again. 8. repeat steps 1-7 for another item, eg, Reload. result: the context menu somehow has the previously highlighted items highlighted again. expected: when you bring up the context menu, nothing should be highlighted.
modification of step 5 above: keep clicking with the right button till the item remains highlighted. this seems to be key to making the highlighting 'stick' after doing steps 6 and 7...

sairuh --- sorry for slow response. Yes, I can reproduce this on Mac in under 30 seconds. (2000011310 build)

Taking menu/popup bugs.
sure, the clicking again with the right button causes problems, but i can't actually dupe the exact problem listed here. there is a different problem, so marking as a dupe of that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 24482 ***

BULK MOVE: Changing component from XP Menus to XP Toolkit/Widgets: Menus. XP Menus component will be deleted.

i can still repro this. also, i don't understand how this could be a dup of bug 24882. so, reopening. i'd be happy to come over to demo/discuss this in person. :-)

we know there are problems with right menu clicks while a context menus is up that put things into a very strange state. I'm not surprised that things don't behave correctly. should we make this dependant on that other bug instead of marking as a dupe? And yes, i would like to see it.
bulk accepting xpmenu/popup bugs. sigh.

chatted with pinkerton --is annoying to repro, but it's there. ;-) prolly dependent on bug 24482, so adding it as such.
Depends on: 24482

why was this re-marked as a dup of 24482? i still think this is a separate issue... but i welcome additional/new information to the contrary... :-)
oops, didn't see the dependency.

people were saying they were having diffculty reproducing...the method i described in bug 40085 seems to work very easily on linux.

I cannot reproduce this with the procedure listed here, nor the procedure from 40085. This bug seems to have been silently fixed. Suggest RESOLVED/WORKSFORME. Tested on Linux Build 2000060620 (M17).
