78879 - Context menu only popps up when different from previous context menu.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 78725

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Xuân Baldauf]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010503
BuildID:    2001050304

When you click the menu button over the document area of a browser window, you
get a context menu popped up. You can click it "away" by clicking outside of the
area of the context menu. If you click over the same object again, you should
get the same context menu, or at least a context menu at all. This does not
happen with this build.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.mozilla.org/
2. Click over the linked "Bugzilla" using the menu mouse button (right mouse
button). A context menu popps up.
3. Now click into a free area which is not linked and marked as such to get rid
of the context menu.
4. Over the linked "Bugzilla", click again, so that the context menu popps up.


Actual Results:  The context menu does not pop up a second time.

Expected Results:  The context menu should pop up again.

When you create a context menu over another area (not a link), so that the
context menu is build of different menu items, this context menu popps up. If
you then try to create the context menu at the first place a second time, you
will get the context menu as expected because this context menu is different
from the last context menu. If there is no difference, the context menu does not
pop up a second time. If there is difference, it does.

Presumable, there is some caching problem, like the cached context menu object
assuming that it already is showing, while it is not, or so.

If the user gets to know how the bug works, this workaround is unpleasant, but
usable.

Nothing to do with my change BTW. My patch fixes a problem in embedding, this 
bug is within Mozilla.
