69695 - Rollup context menu on mousewheel scroll (or disallow scrolling)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Blake Ross]

I know that leaving the context menu open while scrolling with the mousewheel 
was intentional, but I think we either need to roll it up when the user begins 
to scroll or disallow it entirely (as Windows does).  Context menus are context-
specific, and it's visually disorienting and confusing to have a context menu 
for an item that you didn't right click on (if you scroll).

Should read "a context menu over"...

Took me a bit to realize what you were saying, but now that I understand it I agree.

Probably because I abuse the English language in unimaginable ways (e.g. 
using 'it' to refer to two or three different objects).

Why is this in `XP Toolkit: Trees'? This behavior shouldn't be a property of tree 
context menus, it should be a property of context menus in general.

I meant to put this in xptoolkit.

This shouldn't be limited to context menus, it's all menus.

Hrm.  Is there an easy way to determine if any menu is open, perhaps by querying
a listener?

In other words, you want context menus to have the behavior that <select>
boxes have in bug 150538, right?

Scrolling is now prevented when the context menu is open.
