Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 253661

(Firefox :: Menus, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

Top-level menu bar items in Win2K act like hover buttons. When you hover over
them, they gain a thin 3D border, and clicking them results in a pushbutton effect.

In Firefox however when you click a menu item, the 3D border does flip from
raised to inset, but the menu item's label doesn't move, destroying the illusion
of a button. This does not happen e.g. on the personal toolbar or on the regular
toolbars;

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click top-level menu item (file, edit, view, ...)



Actual Results:  
The text on the menu item does not move 1 pixel to the lower-right when clicked.

Expected Results:  
The text on the menu item should move 1 pixel to the lower-right when clicked.

For firefox to look right on Win2K, this inconsistency should be fixed.

You could try some tricks from

and see if it helps

Those userChrome.css hacks do not fix the text not moving when pushed. I can
confirm this in Firefox 0.10.1 20040913.

Additionally, when a menu on a window is "in the background" or inactive, the
text  should be dimmed. You can see what I mean by using Windows 2000 (or the
classic theme on XP) and opening a few explorer windows... switch between them
and you'll notice the text on the menu turns grey when the window isn't the
active window. Different "bug"?

I know these are tiny tiny things, but they're highly annoying for people who
design interfaces.

This bug/annoyance also applies to Windows XP (classic theme). Also applies to
Thunderbird and Sunbird (as of 20041019) on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP
(classic theme).
