376812 - Menu entry under mouse not highlighted

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9a3) Gecko/20070322 GranParadiso/3.0a3

The menu entry under the mouse is sometimes not highlighted. It becomes highlighted again when you move the mouse. It happens consistently when moving the mouse from an entry with a submenu to an entry without a submenu.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(I use one specific menu entry as an example.)
1. Move the mouse to View->Toolbars entry. (The View entry is highlighted, and a list of toolbars is open on the right.)
2. Move the mouse down to the Status Bar menu entry.

Actual Results:  
The Status Bar menu entry was highlighted for a fraction of second, but then stopped being highlighted. It becomes highlighted again as soon as you make any mouse movement (one pixel is enough).

Expected Results:  
The Status Bar menu entry should stay highlighted whenever the mouse pointer is over it.

Did you also test this in -safe-mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode_(Firefox)

Yes, the problem remains the same in safe mode.

Are you able to reproduce this with the latest nightly and with a clean profile?
