295590 - Inconsistent mnemonic alignment in context menu

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Tim De Pauw]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050525 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050525 Firefox/1.0+

On consecutive right-clicks, the mnemonic text of a context menu is sometimes
aligned on the left of its column, sometimes on the right.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on a UI component that has a context menu with mnemonics
2. Look at the positioning of the mnemonic text
3. Repeat until unconsistent
Actual Results:  
Text is usually aligned right on first attempt, then sometimes aligned left.

Expected Results:  
Text should always be aligned left, like in regular menus (?)

This happened in ChatZilla. I can't find any other context menus with mnemonics
for now, but I can't imagine CZ being in charge of context menu styling, so I'm
filing under Firefox.
Screenshot coming up.

Positioning of Ctrl+W is inconsistent.

(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not

Confirming. Have a feeling this has a dupe, though.
