342878 - Context menus in message body not hiding 'Tag' submenu

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

When clicking on a link or image in a message body, the context menu is supposed not to show the items acting on the message itself.  This has been slightly broken by the addition of the Tag submenu, which is now shown in all contexts.

Image                                 Link
    Select All                            Select All
    ---                                   ---
    ---                                   ---
    Tag     >                             Tag     >
    ---                                   ---
    Copy Image Location                   Copy Link Location
    ---                                   ---
    Save Image                            Save Link Target

The Tag menu, and two extra separator lines, are being displayed in each case.

The above menus are seen in TB 3a1-0625; I haven't yet installed a 2a1 version with tags, but I assume that the same situation exists there.

Attachment: the fix

1) Hides the tags menu in the message pane when appropriate
2) Hides the tags separator when appropriate
3) Removes some *hopefully* dead code from nsContextMenu.js

Scott, do we have a separate bug for labels options dialog? This dialog doesn't match the actual tags work.
