Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Eric Promislow]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3

I'm trying to build nested popup menus dynamically in a Firefox
extension.  The handlers work in the menupopup/menuitem nodes,
but they don't fire in menupopup/menu/menupopup/menuitem nodes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install the attached extension

Try the various menu items under [Tools|dynamic popup menu]
and [Tools|static popup menu].

Actual Results:  

static/.. and dynamic/top-level trigger an alert msg
dynamic/nested/menuitem does nothing.

Expected Results:  
All three leaf nodes in these menus should result in an
alert message echoing the menuitem's label.

Ignore the homepage in the extension.

Testing this on Windows Vista + Firefox 3
(Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0)

I can't even expand the inner popup menu 
[Tools|dynamic popup menu|dynamic nested menu...]

This is different behavior from FF 2 on the Mac,
but the static XUL works fine.

Inner menupopup's have to stop events from propagating upwards
to parent menupopup's.  Haven't tried this, and I dropped the
feature, but I think this is the issue.
