79716 - Right-click link for new window disables context menu

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 78725

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Paul Hodson]

This bug has been around for about a week, in all the nightlies. I'm currently
using the 2001050904 build under Windows 2000 SP1, but this has also been
confirmed to exist under Linux-Mandrake 8.

Right-clicking on a link and selecting to open it in a new window or to edit it
in Composer disables the context menu in the original window. It is no longer
possible to right-click on anything interactive, like links or images in the
original window, but the new window works fine

Workaround: Right-click something non-interactive, like the background.
Right-clicking is restored until another link is loaded in a new window, at
which point one must right-click the background again. Workaround confirmed to
work in Windows 2000 SP1 and in Linux-Mandrake 8

Sounds like bug 78725. Same context menu can't be brought up twice in a row -
you have to trigger a different context menu inbetween.

You're right, this is a dup of 78725.
