Details

With Mozilla 1.7 release candidate 1, when I uncheck the "Allow scripts to disable or replace context menus" pref in the Scripts & Plugins panel, the browser context menu now appears when right-clicking over Java applets. This is confusing as applets may have their own context menus. If the applet implements its own context menu, it takes precedence as it should (you see the applet context menu over top of the browser context menu), and the browser context menu stays around until you click somewhere outside the applet, such as the window titlebar. It seems like the fix for bug 86193 was too aggressive. It should affect the HTML page but not plugins that have their own context menus. I'm assuming this affects plugins other than Java. Bug 239788 may be related. To see this problem, go to a page with a browser applet, such as http://toc.oscar.aol.com/tic.html and right-click over it. You should never see the browser context menu regardless of the setting of the pref for scripts disabling the context menu. Unfortunately this applet does not implement a right-click menu so you cannot see the multiple context menu problem.
> With Mozilla 1.7 release candidate 1, Fixed since then. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 238449 ***
