286826 - context menu fires again after selection

Status: NEW

Description

[Andrew Schultz]

If I bring up a context menu, and make a selection, I get the same context menu
again if a tooltip would fire after the selection.  With the testcase,
right-click right-click "link", then select "save link target as".  Timing is
important.  You need to wait long enough to trigger the tooltip, but must click
before the tooltip shows up.  After clicking, the save as dialog comes up, but
another context menu also comes up with the tooltip.

This seemed to regress between linux trunk 2005022305 and 2005022405, indicating
bug 125386.

I think we really want to get this fixed for 1.8...

I investigated this a while ago. The tooltip dismissal goes through some
popupset stuff and opens another popup (the menu). I was unable to figure out
why that happens...

What's the risk/reward analysis here? Is this a bug that is likely to show up in
real-world websites?

Comment 5

[Andrew Schultz]

It can happen anywhere there's a tooltip.  I actually noticed it while poking
around the address book.

Comment 6

[Andrew Schultz]

With current trunk builds, I'm finding this bug a lot harder to reproduce, so
perhaps not as important as previously thought.

Andrew, I forgot the content of our discussion. Can you reproduce this at all now?

Comment 8

[Andrew Schultz]

yes.  I've hit it a couple times in the past week.

With the testcase in this bug?

I have also seen it with the testcase, but I was referring to hitting the bug in
the app GUI.
