Details

In Gnome, holding the right mouse button opens a context menu. Releasing it over a menu item then selects that menu item. This works in Firefox too. However, if the RMB is released *outside* of the context menu (i.e. with no item highlighted), the menu disappears. In Firefox, the menu stays open. Steps to reproduce: (try this in a native Gnome app and in Firefox) 1. Point somewhere where a context menu can be invoked 2. Press and hold the right mouse button (or whichever invokes the context menu) 3. Move the pointer outside of the context menu 4. Release the button Expected results: The context menu closes. Actual results In Gnome the context menu closes. In Firefox it stays open.
