seeing this on linux, mac (dropdowns in toolbars), and winNT. 2000.05.04.12 opt comm bits. 1.dropdown a menu (eg, File, Tasks, Bookmarks in toolbar, dropdowns attached to Back or Fwd buttons), and the menu displays. 2. try to dismiss menu by clicking somewhere in the web content window. result: the menu persists. might need to repeat above steps a few times to see it. workaround: *sometimes* you can dismiss the menu by clicking on the name of another menu label. but when that doesn't work, you'll see multiple menus drawn, and the best way to get out of that messiness is to actually select a menu item (eg, a link from Bookmarks). rather annoying.
adding regression kw, since this hadn't been a problem recently.

there is a workaround: hitting escape always dismisses the menu. it appears that there is an invisible tooltip that fires off (though you can't see it, you see the x,y position output to the console) if you hover over the menu for too long which is what is messing up the listeners. i see this message and the behavior on all platforms. cc'ing saari as this is probably what's wrong with his focus bugs as well.

Something else, dunno if this is related - if I open the bookmark menu in the personal toolbar in win32 moz build, and i click out to another application, the menu remains shown ontop of the other application. It even is functional.
doron, yeah, i see that too! dunno if it's related to this, or is another issue...

This feature was disabled in the browser while mike sorts out the issue. So current builds do not exhibit this behaviour, but it's still an open bug.
What feature was disabled?
The content area is (temporarily) no longer associated with a tooltip. [and today, hyatt also turned this off for the toolbox as well].

adding myself to the cc. This also happens in the mailnews folderpane when you try to right click on a folder, the tooltip comes up and dismisses the menu.
fixed.
