302258 - Form autocomplete menu appears when click-and-hold context menu is visible, making click-and-hold context menu jump

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.google.com/.
2. Depress the mouse button in the textbox and hold for long enough for the
context menu to appear.
3. Release the mouse button.

Result: Autocomplete menu appears even though context menu is visible, and the
context menu moves up and left as if to get out of the way.

This only happens if Firefox remembers at least one Google search that you have
done in the past.

I see this bug with both of these builds:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050726
Firefox/1.0+
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712
Firefox/1.0+
so this might not be a recent regression.

This WFM on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032608 Firefox/3.0.8.  Shawn tells me we've moved from Carbon to Cocoa on Firefox 3, so this probably isn't a problem anymore.
