817398 - html <select> tag on Add-on panel makes panel's behavior unusual.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 701760

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[ashishsvkumar]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0
Build ID: 20121128204232

Steps to reproduce:

I used <select> html tag for the content of firefox Add-on panel.


Actual results:

Usually panel closes when clicked outside. Dropdown box (created using select tag) is clicked inside panel and then to close the panel, I clicked outside but it didnt close. It got stuck there. When clicked on separate tab twice, it closed.


Expected results:

Add-on panel should have closed when clicked outside after clicking the drop down menu.

Could you attach a minimal testcase (as .xpi, restartless if possible), please?

Attachment: restartless add-on to implement test case.

Test Mozilla firefox Add-on for the test case which fails to exhibit the normal Add-on panel behavior.

WFM with Firefox 20 on Win 7.

I click on the icon in the add-on bar, the panel opens, I select an entry in the drop-down list, I click outside and the panel closes.

Could you test with a fresh profile, please?

Even after changing the profile, It is still giving me the same response.
I work with Firefox 17.0.1 on Win 7.

Is this a regression? Did this started occurring with F17?

I was developing a add-on for firefox and came across this issue. Is there any new version of firefox, i mean newer than 17.0.1 ? I find 17.0.1 as the latest one. Regression phase has not yet come.

You can find the latest version of F20 (future release version) here.

Does this work for you?

Thanks for the link. It works fine in F20. Will continue my add-on development on F20.

Will this be resolved for lower version of Firefox ?

It seems that it is fixed in 19 and 20. But 18 - Firefox beta - still exhibits this issue.

This was fixed in this range:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=5ecff3e46ed5&tochange=f9acc2e4d4e3

I'm pretty sure bug 701760 fixed this. 

You can ask in the original bug if you need it to be ported to Firefox 18.
