49730 - Empty submenus display as tiny box

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 33723

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[:deanis74]

If you have, for example, a submenu in bookmarks that contains no items, the 
popup menu that opens is a very tiny box, probably 2x2 pixels.  It should either 
not pop anything out or, and this is my preference, pop out a single-item menu 
that has a disabled "(Empty)" item in it.  The latter seems to be the Windows 
standard for handling these things.  You can see this by creating an empty 
folder in your Start Menu and then opening it up.

I'm seeing this also in the Back drop-down menu today, because there seems to be 
a bug where items aren't getting added to that menu.  So this is definitely an 
overall menu problem.
