I'd like to confirm this bug. It's been a problem under mozilla as well. Affects
Bookmarks menu even more severely, frankly I'm amazed it's made it this far.

I can't confirm this with the current aviary nightly build from 20041002 on W2K.

This bug doesn't seem to exist on windows XP but it exists on linux.

I think this is a duplicate of bug 251729 (which only speaks of the Bookmarks
menu, but I don't think there are any good reasons to keep a separate bug for
the Bookmarks menu).

I was seeing this in Firefox 1.0 and Thunderbird 0.9, but it now seems to be
working in both using the Feb 24th nightlies.  Is anyone still seeing it with a
recent nightly?

Yo blake, you asleep at the wheel?  I also confirm this bug and its fixed in the
nightlies.

I can reproduce it on Firefox 1.0.3.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050421 Firefox/1.0.3
(Debian package 1.0.3-2)

Not a really enormous bug, but it is veeerry annoying, especially on bookmarks.

In fact, the newly selected menu looses focus when the old submenu closes, when
the timer expires.

Closing as WFM, please reopen if it's still an issue with recent builds.
