It seems to be when you mouse down on the arrow and then select a menu entry an only then release the mouse, as apposed to clicking the triangle and then further clicking the item from the menu. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a browser window and navigate a few pages to provide a back button. 2. Mouse down on the back button triangle to obtain the dropdown menu. 3. Without releasing the mouse button, drag an item in the back history. 4. Release the mouse button to select that page. Actual Results: The correct page is displayed in the browser window but the back menu remains visible. Expected Results: The back menu should disapear once a selection is made. If you click the triangle (mouse-down followed by mouse-up) and then make a selection all works correctly. I have not been able to check this on a Windows box so I'll leave this as MacOS only. Traditional Mac users are used to this single motion approach to menus so will find this particularly odd behaviour. Try selecting the last item in the menu when you do this. Because there is nolonger anywhere to go back to the back button disables completely which means there is no way to get rid of the dropdown menu! The same is true of the forward button menu.
This was fixed for a month ago, should work fine with the mac SeaMonkey 1.0a candidate at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/contrib/2005-09-10-12-mozilla1.8/ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 102330 ***
