Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1

When right-clicking an item in the download manager, occasionally you'll get a
small grey box - a tiny context menu with no items whatsoever. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the download manager. Make sure you have a single entry. 
2. Resize the window so there is empty space below the single entry. 
3. Left-click the sole item to select it.
4. Left-click the empty area below the single entry to deselect it. 
5. Immediately right-click the item.

Actual Results:  
A small grey box appears under the mouse pointer; an empty context menu. 

Expected Results:  
Display the context menu as expected. 

Possibly related to Bug 266795? In both cases, the context menus are remembering
the previous selection (or lack thereof) to display their items.
