It does not show it, but you can tell if you arrow up/down a menu. For example: Example Menu: +----------------+ | Enabled item | | Disabled item | | Enabled item | +----------------+ If you highlight the first enabled item, you must key down TWICE to reach the second enabled item. This also happens for multiple items that are disabled (wether they are in a row or not). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a menu 2. Key up/down until you reach a/some disabled items 3. Key up/down until you can reach another enabled item Actual Results: Nothing. Expected Results: Firefox should go DIRECTLY to the next enabled item.

Isnt that the normal behavior on windows? Just try any other windows app and it will work as in Firefox

Hmmm...yeah, it seems to be the default, but Firefox does not highlight the background of the item as another program did. MS Word 2k3 highlights disabled items by having the background transparent, but leaves the border. Pick whichever works, or use my original recommendation.
Summary: Going up/down a menu with keyboard causes disabled items to be "highlighted" → Going up/down a menu with keyboard causes disabled items to be selected without visual notification

WFM. When arrowing through the View menu, the Stop item gets a blue background when it is selected. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050303 Firefox/1.0+ Default Firefox theme Windows XP "Classic" theme

OK. Sorry about all this. It seems it was the theme I'm using (Noia 2.0 eXtreme v2.82). I will notify the author. Thanks for checking this out. Again, sorry for wasting your time as I know you guys have a lot more important things to do. Dan
