28601 - events passed to lower toplevel window

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Marko Macek]

If I select Edit|Preferences and then move the prefs window to cover the
menubar of the browser window, I can navigate the menus by moving over the
appropriate location of the prefs window (prefs window is on top).

Reproduced in 32006 build.  Menus drop down over the prefs winodw on mouseover, 
and they work.  Stops after you click. reassigning to saari as p3 for m16

  Ooo! This is some new variant I haven't seen before. The browser window's menus 
will drop down on mouseover if the relative positions of the two windows are such 
that the prefs window handily covers the browser's menus. When the menu drops 
down, the browser window (on bottom) is temporarily activated. Up comes the menu, 
and then the prefs window is reactivated. Everything returns to normal as soon as 
there's a mousedown anywhere, even on the desktop or in another application.
  This one's new to me. The prefs window is modal (though of course it doesn't 
really look modal). You can tell because mousedowns in the browser window are 
ignored (though the mouse will bring the browser to the top of z-order). Because 
of the way that works in gtk (the topmost window gets event capture), there's 
very little that can go wrong with system event processing here (barring bugs in 
gtk, of course.) Seems like the menus haven't let go of the mouse, as if perhaps 
the rollup listener only half ran.

Actuall, I just noticed that at least part of the bug occurs on Windows too.
Build: 2000032011

I was experimenting with cool stuff in cookie manager. Select tasks|...|cookie
manager and then mouse over the visible part of the menu (in the window where
you selected it). Menus will be displayed as you go over the menu bar. This
should not happen.

Mass-moving all M16 non-feature bugs to M17, which we still consider to be 
part of beta2

This seems like duplicate of bug 22738 (found by accident :( )

Comment 7

[Marko Macek]

Make that bug 22728 (now FIXED)

Comment 8

can't reproduce in today's builds on Linux or Win98, resolving as fixed.
