Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[N Toze]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1

I guess this happens on some svg images when they are the only thing on the page.

Interestingly, I couldn't get the 'view selection source' menu to appear on the
butterfly image. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.croczilla.com/svg/samples/lion/lion.svg
2. Right-click to see normal context menu
3. Drag mouse within lion image
4. Right-click to see 'view selection source' context menu
5. Now try to get back normal context menu (I think can only do it by reloading
page).



Expected Results:  
I guess there should be a way to get back to the normal context menu.

I can see this most of the time. When dragging the pointer, most of the source
is selected (you can see that by chosing View Selection Source) most of the
time. Sometimes there's specific points (unselected points) where you can see
the normal context menu.
The problem might be that only a small part of the source should be selected.
Otherwise, this is normal behavior.

dupe of bug: not being able to select/deselect outside content area (which i
can't find)

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
