Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008030404 Minefield/3.0b5pre ID:2008030404

Now that bug 357540 is fixed you are able to open the context menu with ctrl+space. This will not work if you close an already open context menu by clicking somewhere in the browser window. You have to do a left click again to be able to open the context menu with ctrl+space.

Steps:

1. Open the context menu within a website via right click
2. Left click somewhere outside the context menu in the browser window
3. Hit ctrl+space => nothing happens
4. Left click again at the same position
5. Hit ctrl+space again => context menu opens

The context menu should immediately be opened on step 3.

This doesn't happen in Firefox 2.0.0.12, only on trunk.

(Also: Nice catch on all these ctrl-space bugs!)

Frankie, does this still happen on Mac?

ctrl+space context menu was removed by bug 435164.

In OS X the standard way to open context menus with the keyboard is fn-ctrl-I after enabling Mouse Keys. 

fn-ctrl-I WFM in the situation described here.
