Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 29400

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[chutzpah]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; N; Linux 2.3.47 i686; en-US) Mozilla/m13
BuildID:    200022409

The selected item bar flickers, and selection does not move


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a multi level bookmark menu (folder in a folder)
2. Click and hold the mouse button and drag it to the multi level menu, and
place the cursor over the second level (don't leave it there long enough for the
menu to expand)
3. Quickly move the pointer back to the top level menu, over


Actual Results:  The selection bar will stay on the lower level, and on the top
level it will flicker between the multi-level and the other selection, the
expanded folder remaining open.

Expected Results:  Moved the selection to the new item and close the multi-level
menu.

I see similar results from my february 26th CVS build, linux 2.0.36, glibc
2.1.3, XFree86 3.3.5.

This looks suspiciously like a duplicate of bug 29400.

h'm, this one actually came in before 29400 --feel free to switch the dup'ing,
though.

Sarah -- I dupped them this way round because, in bug 29400, Hyatt said he knew 
exactly what was going on and how to fix it, so leaving that one open would 
theoretically result in a faster fix than marking it as a dup of this one would. 
But hey, you're the professional QA person, you decide. :-)

mpt: yeah, the General Rule of Thumb is to avoid making earlier bugs dups of
more recent ones... but in this case, where the later bug has a greater chance
of getting fixed/better description, i'll go for dup'ing this one. :-)
