well, if i get my way in bug 32494, the menu should dismiss with mouse-up on a
disabled item.

well, if i get my way in bug 32494, then we'll still need to fix this on 
windows.

I don't think this depends on 32494.  Moving my relevant comments from there to 
the correct bug:

I've tried "standard" menus under NT and 2000, as well as the "menus" that MS 
has cooked up and included in their new apps.  Never does releasing over a 
disabled menu item dismiss the menu.  Things behave properly as they are on 
Windows.  Fix this on other platforms, but leave Windows alone.

you are totally correct.

Windows-only.  Pink, I'd like to take this one.  Should we also be looking at
the fact that if, in Windows, you press the accelerator for a disable menu then
the menu is closed?  Should be able to do both at one time.

Note to self: looked through nsMenuFrame, nsPopupSetFrame, 
nsMenuPopupFrame,nsMenuDismissalListener, nsMenuBarListener, and nsMenuListener, 
and couldn't find anything that was causing the menu item to unhighlight.

Or I didn't look well enough or "Show Images" has disappeared from 1.8beta?
