Is that a regression from Firefox 4 or 3.6?

WFM on Windows and on Mac as Well on Firefox 4.
Recent trunk regression?

Oh, wait, this is only in the Native menubar, then I CAN reproduce in Firefox 4.

I can also reproduce on 3.6, not a regression, most likely due to the fact the binding is lazy on the Mac menubar.

I find this quite annoying. Safari gets it right, so it's not impossible :)

I can confirm this issue on Firefox 5 also.
