353845 - Keystroke in Bookmarks menu causes Open in Tabs instead of selecting submenu item

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 279135

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Frank Fay]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

I have a Bookmarks menu with a "Business" folder.  Inside that folder are five folders and a large number of items inluding two that begin with "O" ("Office Depot" and "Office Max").
The problem happens when using keystrokes to select one of these items.  Instead of selecting the menu item the Open in Tabs operation happens (which also closes any existing tabs).
This is quite repeatable.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Alt+B keystroke to show Bookmarks menu.
2. Three "B" keystrokes to select "Business" folder.
3. Right-arrow keystroke to show "Business" menu.
4. "O" keystroke to select "Office Depot" item (fails!).

Actual Results:  
All items in the "Business" menu are opened in new tabs.
Existing tabs are closed.


Expected Results:  
"Office Depot" item selected.


Destroys any tab sessions that you were working with.
