88674 - URL bar drop down list will not disappear

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 85199

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Chi-Thanh Christopher Nguyen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010628
BuildID:    2001062815

When dragging ouf of the URL drop down list with the right mouse button it will
not disappear when clicking outside the list.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. expand the URL bar drop down list
2. right click on any item inside
3. drag into the browser window and dismiss the context menu that pops up

Actual Results:  The drop down list gets into a kind of 'persistent' state where
it will only disappear if you
a. select a list entry
b. click again on the expand icon
c. press the Alt key
(b. and c. only work in the browser window that produced the drop down list)


Expected Results:  The drop down list should collapse when clicking outside.


This can be done with several browser windows simultaneously.

It will not help (for example) switching to other browser windows or opening the
preferences dialog. Most of the time I was not able to enter something into the
location bar. I even cannot minimize all Mozilla windows; if I try then always
one window will pop up again.

Moving the browser window does not affect the drop down list at all.
I doubt that these bugs are the same. The attachment shows quite a different
appearance. Note the shading of the expand icons in the URL bars.
