If I move very carefully, I can select the submenu items in most of the menus
some of the time.

However, the same behavior occurs in the latest Fx branch nightly, so Core.

These are CSS menus, so -> Layout for further triage.

WFM. Tried two links in every menu but all links work as expected.

is this a regression from the 1.7branch?

This seems to be mac only. (I can't reproduce on windows 1.8 branch nightly.) If
this is a regression we should look into it but not going to be a blocker until
we have that information.

this isn't a regression, camino 084 (mozilla1.7branch) exhibits this same
problem. would be nice to get a narrowed down testcase to take a look.

The current build (1.0b2) is much better. I can now choose a submenu item almost all the time. Don't know what changed but something did. Thanks for all your hard work and I do like Camino above all others.

OK. I guess this was a brief anomaly. All is back to the way it was. Menu items are still not accessible

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

SO... I don't see any submenus on this page.  What am I missing?

WFM - Main menu items Wealth Management and Products and Services both have submenus that stayed visible, clicked on each and loaded the corresponding page

This site has changed drastically since the original reporting of the bug:
