392215 - Tooltips for icon dropdown menus reflect last icon tooltip viewed.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 147670

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[P Fudd]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.6 (20070728)

The first hint of a problem was when the tooltips for the 'Tag' icon's menu kept changing back and forth between 'tag messages' and 'delete selected message or folder', which was disturbing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on Tag icon's triangle (to open dropdown menu)
2.Hover over Delete icon to get its tooltip.
3.Hover over any item in the Tag dropdown menu.
Actual Results:  
Tooltips say 'delete selected message or folder'.

Expected Results:  
Tooltips should say 'tag messages'.

The tooltips in any icon's dropdown menu depend on which icon tooltip you viewed last.  For example, if you open a dropdown menu, then hover over 'forward' until you see its tooltip, then the tooltips in the dropdown menu will be 'forward selected message'.  This works with all icons with dropdown menus.
