267681 - Menus don't open when Download Manager only is open

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 245206

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[David Feldman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2

When the Download Manager is the only open Firefox window, menus appear in the
menu bar but have no items, i.e. can't be opened.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Download Manager.
2. Close all other Firefox windows. Make sure no minimized windows are open.
3. Try accessing the menus in the menu bar.

Actual Results:  
opening a menu revealed no menu items. Among other things, this means I cannot
open a new browser window in this situation. (If I close the Download Manager I
can then open a new window.)

I've labeled this as a Major bug because I think it's pretty common to end up
with only the Download Manager open, and new users may find themselves stranded
and return to Safari or worse, IE. This bug is also made more severe by its
interaction with the bug that causes a bogus confirmation dialog to appear when
closing the Download Manager as the last window.

Expected Results:  
Instead, the menus should have retained their items.
