342077 - B F and M keys not available for cycling through Bookmarks sub-menus

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[denormalised]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060607 Fedora/1.0.2-1.fc5 SeaMonkey/1.0.2

I believe this has already been fixed in Firefox.  I think the same should happen in SeaMonkey.

Bookmarks sub-menus beginning with B, F or M cannot be reached by respective key strokes, because such key strokes activate `Bookmark This Page', `File Bookmark' and `Manage Bookmarks'.  This is an inconvenient discrimination for keyboard users.

The correct behaviour (as implemented in Firefox) would be that these key strokes cycle through the sub-menus _and_ the B, F and M menu items.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create Bookmarks folder `Music'
2. Press `Alt+B'
3. Press `M'
Actual Results:  
`Bookmark Manager' is activated; `Music' sub-menu is unreachable.

Expected Results:  
Step 3, repeated, should have cycled through `Manage Bookmarks', `Music' and any other sub-menus beginning with `M'.

This behaviour is also evident in Windows 2000.
