Description

[Yusuf Motiwala]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Right click on any of the link in download manager (pause, resume, open) creates
a context menu. However, it also takes the action like open, or pause even if no
menu item is clicked. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start download any file from internet
2. Go to download manager
3. Right click on 'Pause'. Menu will appear. Do not click on any menu item and
just click outside to cancel menu.
4. Download will be paused (even though you have not clicked on pause menu item)



Expected Results:  
None of the event should be triggered if menu was canceled.

May be due to memory leak.  I've seen a similar problem in conjunction with
Firefox 1.0.2 under Windows 98SE acting weird in various ways and other
applications slowing to a crawl.  In my case it was undesired Removal of the
items from the download list.  After system reboot the problem went away and the
right-click menu functioned normally.  Memory leak _may_ be in Firefox, but
could also be caused by a helper application handling that downloaded item.

Lacking a menu bar as in the Mozilla Suite Download Manager, right-clicking
isn't an obvious thing to do to find information about the item anyway.  I'd
rather see the pointing hand cursor above the Open, Remove and other hyperlinks,
and an arrow & question mark cursor everywhere else, activating a dialogue box
by a single LEFT-click when the cursor hovers over the download list items.
