It reproduces also by Firefox and Thunderbird of branch.

Mac OS X 10.3.5
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; ja-JP; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041027

I can confirm this with Mozilla 2005010905 on Mac OS 10.3.7. However, the
problem only seem to occur if the window you minimize is your only window.

This looks sort of similar to bug 21296, so I'm reassigning to Core: XP
Toolkits/Widgets: Menus.

oh? i've got several windows in the dock, and if there's no window open, the
menubar window item stays hilited & ineffectual...

I was a bit unclear... It doesn't occur if you minimize a window and you have
other windows open.

right, i should have specified "all windows minimized." the workaround is to
always have a window open;-} 

i might try it on my daughter's powerbook w/windowshade when she gets up this
afternoon;-) i haven't used it on mine since w.s.'s minimize-in-place played
badly w/x11...

my daughter finally got up (ah, yoot;-) & pointed out that none of the menubar
actions that should open a window (new, bookmark selection) actually does open a
window:-(

ok, windowshaded windows work just like open windows (because they're really
open, just cut off below the titlebar;-) and minimized-in-place windows exhibit
the bug (because they're really just minimized-not-in-dock)
