Confirming for the time being. Could not find a dupe but probably it has already a hidden existence somewhere :).

I see this bug also in Seamonkey.
Not present in Firefox 1.0.7 but present in Firefox 1.5.0.7.
Could not find a trunk regression range however in the available time.

For me, this bug is present in Windows 2000 Professional SP4 with Firefox 2.0.

The bug has nothing to do with Alt-Tab. Rather, both menus should disappear when Alt is pressed down, irrespective of whether you press Tab or something else with it.

This is now working as expected in Firefox 3 Beta 5 -- can close this bug.

The severity field for this bug is relatively low, S3. However, the bug has 4 duplicates.
:enndeakin, could you consider increasing the bug severity?

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
