47899 - Right click menu does not support hold-down and release to select

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 16766

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Ben Ruppel]

In 4.x and the top menu in mozilla, one can click on the main item and hold down
the mouse button while moving to the desired selection (ie: click on File, hold
down button and release over New Navigator Window).  This worked for the right
click menu in the browser window in 4.x, but does not currently function in
mozilla.  This is really handy for opening links in new windows.

I looked at the the bug this has been marked a dupe of (16766), and it seems 
that there has been a mistake.  For one thing, 16766 is for Linux.  For another, 
it was marked fixed a month ago, but in win32 context menus don't come up until 
the right mouse button is released, making click-drag-release behavior 
impossible.  I might dare to mark this reopened, but I'm not sure if I'm 
allowed.

not necessary, this is really bug 49844 which is the windows bug that fell out
of 16766 (which became linux only before it was fixed).
