678851 - When scrolling through a pull-down menu in Firefox 5.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.7 using Apple's multitouch scrolling, the menu disappears within about one second.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 677279

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Lee Reams]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:5.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0.1
Build ID: 20110707182747

Steps to reproduce:

On a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7. Opened a pull-down menu with enough items that the menu requires a scrollbar (on any site with a pull-down menu, including this one).


Actual results:

The menu disappeared within about one second of opening it, or as soon as I started to scroll with Apple's multitouch scrolling.


Expected results:

The menu should not just disappear, but should remain visible until I have selected an item or clicked elsewhere.

Did not start happening until the upgrade to OS X 10.7, so I assume it is just a compatibility issue with the OS.

This is fixed on Aurora (and possibly on Beta), you might wanna try it before the fix makes into the stable channel.

Reuben, how did you arrive at that conclusion?

Bug 677279 definitely still exists on the Nightly channel.

I should have phrased it in a better, way - what I actually meant is that this works for me, on Lion with momentum scrolling enabled on Aurora and Nightly.

I could reproduce the problem soon after I upgraded to 10.7, but after a few days it stopped happening.

Well, I can still reproduce it, even on 10.6. I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of bug 677279.
