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

When I right click any button it looks like it does when I "left click" it, with the exception that the page is not submitted.

MSIE does not do the same thing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. right click a button in a form

Actual Results:  
The button is in its pressed state.

Expected Results:  
The button should look like it normally does, ie before clicking it.

The same goes for drop downs (HTML SELECT) and all other "buttons", like checkboxes, radiobuttons etc. 

And it focuses an input box.

If you mean that rightclicking on a button changes the focusline from yellow to blue and shows a dotted rectangle on the button, yes I see this too.

I am using FF1.5b2, and yes I see what you see, but I also see every form control behaving like if it is left clicked while you are still hovering over it and the right click menu is seen.

Is this Windows-only?  Or branch-only?  I don't seem to see this with Linux trunk...

Yeah, I guess this is windows only.
Mozilla is doing this like forever (at least also on the Mozilla1.7.12). I'm so used to it, I don't even consider it a bug.

So... how is this happening?   The place where we set NS_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE is http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/content/events/src/nsEventStateManager.cpp&rev=1.665&mark=2160-2162,2176#2155

How is that failing?

This is still the same in Firefox 7.0.1 (on Windows XP)
