91925 - Keyboard shortcuts for disabled menu items look enabled

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

To reproduce:
1.  Close all windows in the application. (This isn't compulsory, but it makes
    it easier to find disabled menu items.)
2.  Browse through the menus.
3.  Look at the keyboard shortcuts shown for menu items which are disabled.

What you should see:
*   The keyboard shortcuts look disabled as well.

What you actually see:
*   The keyboard shortcuts look enabled.

Problem occurs with:
*   Mozilla build 2001072008, Mac OS 9.1
*   Internet Explorer 5.0
*   Outlook Express 5.0
*   SimpleText 1.4

Problem does not occur with:
*   Netscape Communicator 4.77
*   BBEdit Lite 6.1.1
*   Corel Photo-Paint LE 8.0.3
*   AppleWorks 6.0.4

My initial theory was that this was a bug in CarbonLib; but the fact that 
SimpleText (which isn't Carbonized) has the bug, whereas AppleWorks (which is 
Carbonized) doesn't, suggests that it's something under the app's control.

wfm, macos9, 7/17/01 branch. all shortcuts for disabled menus are disabled.

this can't have anything to do with carbon as our classic mac bits aren't 
carbonated at all.

I'm still seeing this problem; however when I disable Kaleidoscope the problem
goes away, so it looks like it's a bug in Kaleidoscope. While it's probably
possible for it to be fixed (by doing whatever it is that AppleWorks and BBEdit
do to make their menus, rather than whatever it is that Internet Explorer and
Oulook Express do), it's really not worth the bother. Verifying worksforme.
