In 2001050304 and 2001050915 it works, but only the first time you click on each
selection widget.  If you go to another page in preferences, then return, it
works again for one time.

->bnesse, would this be yours?

confirming --this occurs on all platforms. interesting, i see what Luke sees on
linux and mac --but on winnt, the color picker didn't even come up the first
time for me.

2001.05.10.09 winnt
2001.05.10.04 mac
recent linux debug build, 16:44 pull

[alas, no useful console output.]

I haven't checked anything in since 5/7. It's not preferences.

mcafee, attinasi, any idea who could fix this?

Comment 7

[Brian Nesse (gone)]

My (relative uninformed) guess at this point is nsEventStateManager, I get
concerned when I step through code commented "// XXX Never called. Does this
matter?"

I'm also seeing a null widget assertion when it fails... in case that helps.

Comment 9

[Brian Nesse (gone)]

Ok, the null widget is a red herring. It doesn't always happen. The basic
process is this: You click on the button. It sets focus to the button and
notifies some observers. Upon returning to DispatchEvent it calls
Repeater::DoRepeaters() which (somehow) triggers the display of the color
selection box.

The second time, you click the button, it sets focus and (appears to) notifiy
the observers. However, when it calls Repeater::DoRepeaters() the color
selection box isn't triggered and the button stays in the "down" state.

Eddie pointed me in the right direction. He suggested it might be related to the
contextual menu blocker (Bug 78725). Sure enough, if you click on the button the
second time, press the arrow keys a couple of times, and hit return, the color
changes. Voila, 0x0 contextual menus.
