VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 49844

Details

I've recently switched to running Windows NT with the focus-follows-pointer enabled from TweakUI. Most of Mozilla's menus work fine under this scheme, including the bookmarks, top bar (File, Edit, etc.) and drop-down boxes, as these are created on button press. However, clicking the right button in any window to call the pop-up menu (Back, Forward, Reload, etc.) results in the window being created when the right button is released. For whatever reason known to MS, this minor feature results in the menu being lost when the mouse is then moved so the popup menus can't be used when focus-follows-pointer is used. For context specific information that can't be configured by other means (such as image blocking) this cuts off that functionality. For consistency, it would seem that all menus should be created on button press and not release.
