Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[Thomas Stromberg]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT i386; en-US; m18)
Gecko/20000725
BuildID:    m18

Right clicking ot javascript onClick links like the one described, change the
entire browser view window to solid white on the top and solid grey on the
bottom. Normally I'd expect a link.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/00/37/index2a_page2.html?tw=design
2. Right click the link "take a look" in the body of the text
3. Enjoy!

Actual Results:  The entire browser view screen turns white on the top and grey
on the bottom

Expected Results:  The menu that gives you the option to open the link in a new
window or copy the link location.

The code is:

.. don't choose the same set of colors for their system
palettes (here, <a href="#"
onClick="open('stuff2a/sys_pal.html','sys_pal','width=350,height=200')">take a
look</a>). In order to attain cross-operating system ..

i cannot reproduce this problem when bringing up the context menu on any link in
the page you specify (didn't see a link called "take a look" on this page).
tested using linux comm bits 2000.09.08.08. not sure if this belongs here, so
taking a guess at event handling. (pls reassign as needed.)

Works for me (the link "Take a look" is near the bottom) on 2000090708 Win2k.

This bug has been fixed somewhere down the line. No longer shows up in Sep 13

Thomas, you should use the WORKSFORME resolution if you did not fix the bug, or 
can not point a finger to the fix. Also, please state what platforms you used to 
test for this (this is especially important for bugs like this that are 
cross-platform).

I will now do reoped & mark this as worksforme, sorry for the spam.

finally responding to some email i got from mpt [pardon the delay!]: this is
still not a problem for me, using 2000.12.07.09 mozilla on win98 [and a 3-button
mouse,
fwiw]. [but this time i did finally see the "take a look" link on the page. heh.]
